Dozens of families in Gaza City are fleeing south with hastily packed belongings and tents following Israel's expanded bombardment of residential areas, as confirmed by CGTN reporters documenting the exodus along coastal evacuation routes. The mass displacement comes after Israeli authorities ordered the complete evacuation of Gaza City's remaining residents, with intensified strikes targeting high-rise buildings and neighborhoods.
A Journey Under Fire
CGTN footage shows displaced residents navigating debris-strewn roads while carrying children and essential supplies. One evacuee, who declined to be named, told reporters: "We've lost count of the explosions – there's nothing left but rubble where our homes once stood."
Humanitarian Crisis Deepens
The United Nations estimates over 50,000 people have been displaced in the past 48 hours, with many families seeking temporary shelter in UN-run schools already operating beyond capacity. Medical facilities report critical shortages of supplies as bombardment continues to disrupt aid deliveries through key crossings.
