Israeli Assault Sends Terrified Palestinians Fleeing North Gaza
Amid a sweeping assault by Israeli forces in Gaza, thousands of scared Palestinians have fled north Gaza after being rounded up and searched. Videos showed displaced Gazans passing through Israeli checkpoints, facing intense scrutiny before being allowed to leave. Nevin al-Dawasah, a paramedic who was trapped for days in a shelter, described the chaos and fear experienced by those trying to escape the violence.
The ongoing Israeli assault, which began on October 6, has led to the deaths of at least 400 people, according to the Gaza civil defense agency. The military claims to be targeting Hamas militants who have regrouped in the area, but proposals for a full siege on northern Gaza have raised concerns.
The Hamas government has downplayed the displacement, but reports indicate tens of thousands of people have been forced to flee to safer areas. With limited access to medical care and basic supplies, the situation in northern Gaza remains dire.
Efforts to stop the forced displacement and violence in the region have been urged by international organizations as the crisis continues to escalate.
