“How I look is enough for the entire world to know about our suffering. Until now, I have walked some 15 kilometers. 15 kilometers with a car? You would want to give it two breaks. I am a human being without food, water, or anything. There are no resources along the road. Where are the international organizations? They take money at our expense. They can bring us water to drink on the road. They can bring donkey carts to transport us. Fear Allah.”

STORYLINE:
In the wake of escalating hostilities and calls to evacuate Gaza City, the number of people leaving has spiked in recent weeks, according to aid workers.
However, many families remain stuck because of the cost of finding transportation and housing, while others having been displaced too many times and don’t want to move again, not trusting that anywhere in the enclave is safe.
“This is not a life. We are walking. We are not able to move furniture, or clothes. This is all I could take with me,” said Majdi Khafarna, a man displaced from Beit Hanoun.
In a message on social media on Saturday, Israel’s army told the remaining Palestinians in Gaza City to leave “immediately” and move south to what it’s calling a humanitarian zone.
Army spokesman Avichay Adraee said more than a quarter of a million people had left Gaza City — from an estimated 1 million who live in the area of north Gaza around the city.
The United Nations however, put the number of people who have left at around 100,000 between mid-August and mid-September.
The UN and aid groups have warned that displacing hundreds of thousands of people will exacerbate the dire humanitarian crisis.
Sites in southern Gaza where Israel is telling people to go are overcrowded, according to the UN, and it can cost money to move, which many people don’t have.
An initiative headed by the UN to bring temporary shelters into Gaza said more than 86,000 tents and other supplies were still awaiting clearance to enter Gaza as of last week.
