Under a blazing sun and roaring skies, dozens of families loaded tents, children on shoulders, onto the dusty coastal road — the only lifeline out of Gaza City. 🧳🚶♀️🚶♂️
Yesterday, Israel expanded its bombardment of residential towers, ordering a full evacuation of Gaza City. CGTN crews watched as parents balanced belongings on their backs, guiding their loved ones toward the uncertain safety of the south.
Fatima, a mother of three, told a CGTN reporter: "We have to go. There’s nothing left here for us." Her boy clutched a deflated teddy bear, eyes wide with confusion.
The once-bustling city center now echoes with the hum of military jets and the distant tremor of collapsing buildings. Tents and makeshift shelters dot the highway — a temporary home for families who had no time to plan their escape.
Humanitarian groups warn that basic supplies like clean water and medical care are running low. Aid workers are scrambling to set up camps in the south, but the road is crowded with traffic, and uncertainty looms over every mile.
This mass movement is one of the largest displacements in recent weeks. For many Gazans, it’s a choice between staying under fire or risking the unknown.
As the sun sets, silhouettes of families marching toward new hope blend into the horizon. Their journey isn’t over, but for now, they’re following one simple rule: moving forward, together. 💔✨
