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

Gaza City is under fire again. Israeli air strikes have forced hundreds of families from their homes. The attacks hit busy areas like Shujaiya, Tuffah, and Zeitoun. 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. People in Gaza are scared and tired. Abeer Talba, a mom of seven, fled Zeitoun with her kids. She says they got a call in Arabic, warning them to leave fast. This is the seventh time her family has had to run. Now, they have no food, no water, and nowhere safe to go. She says death feels easier than this life. The Israeli military told people to leave northern Gaza before the strikes. But most moved to other parts of Gaza City instead of going south. The humanitarian crisis is getting worse. Some think Israel wants to push deeper into Gaza. Others believe the military goals are almost done. But many worry more people will die in this fight. 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.
