Gaza Faces Another Night of Fear: Families Flee as Strikes Hit

Israeli air strikes have forced hundreds of families from their homes in Gaza City. The attacks hit busy areas like Shujaiya, Tuffah, and Zeitoun.

Chaos and Destruction

• Videos online show chaos, explosions, and smoke filling the sky.
• A school in Zeitoun, packed with families seeking safety, was hit.
• Five people died in another strike at Al Shati camp.

Fear and Exhaustion

People in Gaza are scared and tired.

Abeer Talba, a mom of seven, fled Zeitoun with her kids. "We got a call in Arabic, warning us to leave fast. This is the seventh time our family has had to run. Now, we have no food, no water, and nowhere safe to go. Death feels easier than this life."

Humanitarian Crisis

• The Israeli military told people to leave northern Gaza before the strikes.
• Most moved to other parts of Gaza City instead of going south.
• The humanitarian crisis is getting worse.

Uncertain Future

• Some think Israel wants to push deeper into Gaza.
• Others believe the military goals are almost done.
• Many worry more people will die in this fight.

Pressure on Netanyahu

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is under pressure.

• People at home and abroad want him to stop the fighting and make a deal for peace.
• But Netanyahu has always wanted to keep fighting until Hamas is defeated.
