The last Israeli plan to move people to the north of Gaza has pushed a new wave of despair among the Palestinian civilians in the area, many of which have already been displaced several times since the beginning of the war.
The displacement plan would have aggravated an already terrible humanitarian situation in Gaza, where hunger has risen since Israel imposed a block on aid supplies in March, pushing the United Nations to warn this week of a “growing humanitarian catastrophe”.
“We don't even want to hear the word” evacuation “again,” said Anees Jneed, 31 years old, a thinly Palestinian who lives in an improvised refuge in the north of Gaza. Jneed said that his family had already been cracked at least six times from the beginning of the war in October 2023.
“The displacement means death, humiliation, homeless,” added Jneed.
Mr. Jneed is probably among the first affected by the Israel plan to capture large sections of Gaza and force those who live there to move to the south. On Monday, the Israeli authorities said they were inviting tens of thousands of military reservists to issue the expansion of the war. The Israeli leaders claim to hope that the campaign will take pressure Hamas to compromise in the negotiations of ceased ceasers and release the hostages that still keeps in Gaza.
Israel's announcement had the opposite effect, at least initially. A Hamas spokesman said Tuesday that the group was no longer interested in participating in the negotiations of ceased fire.
All this has contributed to a deeper sense of darkness among the civilians of Gaza. Wafa al -ghauty, 35 years old, accounting and mother of five children, said she was unleashed seven times since the beginning of the war. Now she repairs in a curtain in a coastal area of the south of Gaza.
“The situation is extremely demanding, not only because of the repeated displacement, but because of the hunger and impotence of not being able to provide even a loaf,” said Mrs. Al-Gouty in an interview. “Every time we are satisfied, we are forced to move again.”
Mrs. Al-Gouty said she planned to cook her last pasta bag within 24 hours. “Sometimes we are so focused on survival – find food and medicine for children – that we are missing news,” he said. “But this announcement struck like lightning.” He said he had already packaged a small bag with the clothes of his children and key documents, preparing for what he might come later.
Almost two months have passed since Israel broke the ceasefire to Gaza in March and resumed his military campaign after the interviews of ceased the fire stopped. The renewed assault brought almost daily air attacks and growing earth operations, causing thousands of deaths and injuries. According to the United Nations, over 1.9 million people – most of the population of Gaza – have been displaced since the beginning of the war.
The humanitarian situation has significantly worsened in recent weeks due to the blocking of Israel on aid supplies. Most of the bakeries are no longer operational, food stocks are exhausted and medical supplies are critically low. Israel claimed that his blockage is lawful and that Gaza still has quite available provisions.
Jneed said she fought to provide basic needs for her two children. The family now survives in one meal a day.
“Every hour that passes is worse than that before,” he said.
