“We won’t leave Gaza City. We will live and die here. All of our memories here we will not leave, even if we all die, even if our children die, even if they destroy our houses.”

Sayed al-Zard, currently living in a tent in Gaza City, said: “We’ve been displaced 10 times. We have nowhere else to go. Let them come. We’re in the camps. Where do we go? We have no houses. Everything is gone. I’ll die here on my land.”

‘We won’t leave Gaza City. We will live and die here’

Despite Israel’s plan to seize Gaza City and forcibly displace nearly a million Palestinians to concentration zones in the south, many Palestinians in the city are refusing to leave.

“They say go south, go to al-Mawasi, but there is nowhere safe any more, north, south, east or west. No one and nowhere is safe. We will stay here.”

The violence has killed 35 people on both sides, and displaced around 300,000 people.

They know that walking into al-Mawasi is like walking into a death trap where they are going to be killed within days, weeks, hours. It highlights the vulnerability of displaced people who have been displaced multiple times since the start of the war to the point that they have no other options other than staying in their homes in the central areas.

We are face to face with another Israeli misleading and largely contradictory enforced evacuation order. People are told, in order to avoid being bombed, to move to the al-Mawasi area that has been designated as a safe zone.

But since day one of the designation of this area, Palestinians have been killed, and maimed, and bombed there. This is not a safe zone, in fact, there is no safe zone in a warzone.

Palestinians left with zero options after new evacuation threat

Palestinians say they have nowhere else to go and there is no space because most western areas or al-Mawasi are full of people and tents with no extra space.

They are left with zero options.

Palestinians here are saying they refuse to leave and are going to stay in their houses because even the areas designated as safe by the Israeli army have been targeted.
