Israel’s military has issued new evacuation orders for neighborhoods of Gaza City as Israeli ground forces pushed deeper into the Gaza Strip’s largest urban area. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have already fled Gaza City for overcrowded areas further south, as Israeli forces systematically flatten much of the city. Meanwhile, Israeli bombardment continues to kill dozens of Palestinians every day amid widespread famine. “People feel now it’s a permanent state of displacement,” says leading Al Jazeera reporter Hani Mahmoud, who has just left Gaza City. “People have been herded from one area to another.” Mahmoud also discusses the toll of reporting on the genocide despite Israel’s repeated targeted assassinations of journalists in Gaza, including many with Al Jazeera. “We believe the world deserves to learn the truth,” he says of his choice to keep working despite the risks.
