The reason Palestinians are not leaving Gaza City now is the fear and intimidation created by the Israeli military’s ground offensive. There are major parts of the city that the army is now reaching, where it is carrying out deadly attacks on the civilian population. The military is sharply ordering people to leave their homes, but at the same time targeting them with sky-predator drones and quadcopters. Those who manage to get to al-Rashid Street and move towards central and southern Gaza face aerial surveillance and bombardment.
