Hundreds of Palestinians flee northern Gaza, following the Israeli army's warning to move south before an expected ground offensive.Thousands of people are fleeing south, after the Israeli military ordered a mass evacuation of parts of the Gaza Strip.
The majority of Gaza’s population, some 1.7 million of the 2.1 million residents, are among those who were forced to leave their homes in 1948, or their descendants. In 1948, many Palestinians were told they would be allowed to return to their homes after a few days or weeks. Many took with them just a few belongings and the keys to their front doors. But they were never allowed to return.
Gazans said they are worried that they are being forced to go to a sparse and somewhat rural area with no services. The Gaza Strip has already been cut off from water, food and electricity after Israel imposed what it called a “complete siege” days ago.
