Absence in the city of Gaza when Israel shows BBC assistance sites scheduled for evacuated

Israel ordered to leave the entire population of Gaza when its forces are preparing to seize the north of the gas lane.

Israeli airstrikes continue to destroy the tower blocks, and the army states that it now has operational control over 40% of the city when ground forces are preparing to fight the fact that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called Hamas the last important support.

This week Netanyahu said that 100,000 people left the city, but up to a million people still live – many in tents and shelters. Many of them say they will not – or cannot – leave.

After the strike hit the tower near his house today, Amar Sukar urged Hamas negotiators to come and negotiate with the tent, not from the rooms with the air conditioner in Qatari and insisted that he would remain in the city.

“You need so, Netanyahu, we don’t leave,” he said the freelancer who works on the BBC. “Go and fight Hamas, go and kill them. We are not guilty. And even if we were buried here, we don’t leave. This is my land.”

Waez Shaban, who also lives near the tower that was targeted today, said they were given 15 minutes to escape.

“When we returned, tents, flour, everything went. There is nothing left. Everything is to press on us south, but we don’t have money.

The Israeli army tells the residents of Gaza that the so -called humanitarian zones have a lot of shelter, food and water in the so -called humanitarian zones.

But assistance organizations say the areas they are heading are already significantly overcrowded and has no nutrition and medical resources. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) can nowhere to absorb such a large movement of people, describing the mass evacuation plan as “impossible” and “incomprehensible”.

Currently, the Israeli army is building a new site distribution near Rafa, 30 km (18 miles) south. It states that it also provides thousands of extra tents, and also lays a new water pipeline from Egypt.

The BBC went to the area as part of the built -in military to see the new site. This is the first time BBC has been allowed to enter Gas since December 2023.

Military implementation is offered at the discretion of Israel, highly controlled and do not offer access to Palestinians and areas under Israeli military control – but now they have generally entered the BBC journalists.

Israel does not allow information organizations, including the BBC, to report on its own.

Rafa is a reminder of what happened last time the Israeli Prime Minister sent his strength to the city to crush Hamas’s “last support”.

Going along the recently paved military road along the gas border with Egypt, we pass the broken remains of the old border crossing of Rafa, the roof of one building was hacked and rushed to the ground.

Next along the road, known as the Philadelphol’s corridor, the discrete piles of the masonry and the split metal were reflected where every house or farm building once stood.

The city of Rafa itself, near the new assistance site, was almost smoothed into the desert. And yet silent, his life is erased; Only a few sign from the marine abandoned abandoned kilometers on the sand.

It was easy to notice new mounds and concrete blocks that rise from the landscape filled with shooting, followed by Tel El Sultan.

A short ride from the main point of crossing Kerem Shalom, the angle of the humanitarian zone al-Mavas, where many displaced people are leaning, just visible coast.

“The whole idea is a safe and fast route,” said the Israeli Military Leit Press, Lieutenant Kol gave the highway. “As short as possible for trucks and for people in part. We can ensure that 0% robbery.”

We were shown two separate sections, each about 100 m (328 feet) in width, where Israeli troops said unloading and distribution could be carried out in a continuous loop.

Inside the perimeter wall, two US trucks were already parked on the sand.

Israel says the new places of assistance will be transferred to the Israeli Humanitarian Gaza Stock (GHF) in the coming days, and security here – both on other GHF sites – will be provided by private US security forces, and Israeli troops providing the Square.

But the UN says more than 1,100 people have been killed while trying to access help from GHF websites since they started working in May.

Lieutenant Colonel Shoshani said a lot of lessons had been studied in how the sites were created.

“You can see the sandstone, concrete walls, making it clear where you have to go, and make sure that people are not approaching the troops and are engaged in a dangerous situation,” he said. “What is (too) important is how close they are – just a very short walk to where people are. It makes it easier, but also safer.”

But some of those who now order to leave gas -sits say that it will not be safer elsewhere, after repeated Israeli strikes for the purpose of shelters, tents and assigned humanitarian zones.

“It’s Moas Mo (work mode),” said Lieutenant Kol Shoshani. “It says: No, don’t go, you are our shields! Don’t move south!”

“A year ago, we had a similar operation (in Rapha), which was successful,” he said. “Citizens were able to get out of the fire line, the maximum of terrorists Hamas was killed, this is what we want to achieve in Gaza.”

Rafa residents were evacuated before work in May 2024 – the “temporarily” army stated that along the coast created along the coast. The area they left behind is still under full military control.

But the evacuation of gas -sity – and the fight against Hamas in its tunnels and the streets – will be a more difficult and more dangerous task.

Hamas fighters are increasingly turning to the tactics of rebels and guerrilla attacks. Earlier this week, four Israeli soldiers were killed in an attack on the outskirts of Gaza.

Meanwhile, Israeli leaders are under heavy pressure from the hostage families who say they plan to take the city – this is a death sentence for living relatives there.

Benjamin Netanyahu – a restless criticism of the house – used to boast of his determination, looking into the international opposition and pushing forward with his offensive in Rapha.

Now, with the prospects of ceasefire, and up to a million exhausted gas, he tells his critics that another abusive standing between him and the victory over Hamas.
