""The situation is really bad. All night long, the tank was firing shells," said Palestinian Toufic Abu Mouawad, who left a camp for the displaced with nowhere else to go. "I want to flee with the boys, the girls, the children. This is the situation that we are living in. It is a very tragic situation. We call on all the Arab countries and the people who have a good conscience to stand with us.""
"On Thursday, the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) said it believed 350,000 people had left Gaza City since the start of September and that about 600,000 remained. Satellite imagery from Thursday shows new tents appearing in the areas south of Gaza City after September 5. It also shows crowds of people on the Al Rashid road and what appear to be vehicles on the Salah al Din road."
"The Gaza health authorities said 33 Palestinians had been killed in the last 24 hours. Displaced Palestinian Osama Awad said the Israeli shelling, bombing, airstrikes and naval bombardment were coming closer: "For one week, we have been living nights of horror." It is a horror that most of Gaza's two million Palestinians have experienced over and over again in repeated Israeli onslaughts and multiple displacements."
Israeli forces have been attacking Sheikh Radwan and Tel Al-Hawa in Gaza City, using tanks, airstrikes, shelling and naval bombardment. Gaza health authorities reported 33 Palestinians killed in the past 24 hours. The IDF controls Gaza City's eastern suburbs and urged civilians to use the Salah al Din road to move south. The IDF estimated about 350,000 people left Gaza City since early September while roughly 600,000 remained. Satellite imagery shows new tents south of Gaza City and crowded evacuation routes. Displaced families carry few possessions, children sit atop meagre belongings, and repeated onslaughts have driven multiple displacements. An IDF airstrike killed Mahmoud Yusuf Abu Alkhir, identified as deputy head of military intelligence.
