“It’s so unjust,” the mother-of-two adds bitterly.<\/p>\n
Journalists at Nasser Hospital in nearby Khan Younis said the bodies of two children were brought in after an Israeli strike on their tent in al-Qarara, at dawn. The BBC has approached the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) for comment.<\/p>\n
Israel’s military has been ordering hundreds of thousands of Gaza City residents to head south to al-Mawasi near Khan Younis promising better services there.<\/p>\n
But those who make the difficult journey \u2013 walking for hours or paying hundreds of dollars for transportation along two congested routes \u2013 say they are struggling to find food and shelter.<\/p>\n
“The situation is really getting worse by the day,” says Olga Cherevko, spokesperson for the UN’s humanitarian office (Ocha) after visiting al-Mawasi.<\/p>\n
“It is full and people coming from the north are sitting on the sides of the streets not knowing where to go. People who had shelters, they’ve been worn out or they couldn’t bring them because transportation costs a lot of money and tents are extremely heavy to carry for that distance.”<\/p>\n
Ms Cherevko describes meeting a family-of-five from Jabalia, north of Gaza City, who had been looking for a shelter in the south for four days. <\/p>\n
They had just two bags of belongings and shared a straw mat as they slept outside in the open. The father had no shoes, and no money left from his savings after months of displacement.<\/p>\n
Satellite images show how al-Mawasi, a vast coastal encampment, has expanded since mid-August when Israel declared its new operation to occupy Gaza City, saying it remains a last stronghold of Hamas. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“It’s so unjust,” the mother-of-two adds bitterly.
