Israel hit the suburbs of Gaza overnight, when the Benjamin Netanyahu government vowed to continue with the planned attack in the city.
The family flows out of town when the explosion hit this weekend.
“I stopped counting when I had to take my wife and three daughters and left my house in Gaza City,” Mohammad said, 40.
“There is no safe place, but I can’t take risks. If they suddenly start the invasion, they will use big fire.”
Others say they prefer to die and don’t leave.
“We will not leave, let them bomb us at home,” said Aya, 31, who has a family consisting of eight people, adding that they are unable to buy tents or pay transportation.
“We are hungry, scared and don’t have money,” he said.

Four people were killed while seeking help
Al-Awda Hospital and two witnesses told the Associated Press that the four people were killed when the troops fired on a crowd leading to the location carried out by the American Gaza contractor supported by Israel, or GHF, in the Netzarim corridor area.
It happened hundreds of meters from the site.
“The shot was indiscriminate,” said Mohamed Abed, the father of two children from the Bureij refugee camp.
“This incident did not occur near our site or as explained,” GHF said in an email.
The Israeli military did not immediately respond to requests for comments.
More than 2,000 Palestinians were killed and more than 13,500 were injured while seeking assistance at the distribution point or along the convoy routes used by the United Nations and other assistance groups, according to the Ministry of Health managed by Hamas Gaza.
Peeled city part

Malnutrition deaths increase
Eight people died due to malnutrition and hunger in Gaza, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health managed by Hamas on Saturday.
281 people, including 114 children, have now died of malnutrition and hunger since the war began, according to the ministry.
About half of the two million Gaza residents who currently live in the city and on Friday, a global famine monitor said that the city of Gaza and the surrounding area officially suffered hunger which is likely to spread.
Israel said the monitor ignored the steps taken by Israel since the end of July to increase the supply of aid in and throughout Gaza.
The war began on October 7, 2023, when armed people led by Hamas killed around 1,200 people in South Israel, especially civilians, and took 251 hostages.
Since then, Israel has killed at least 62,000 Palestinians, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health, and internally shifted almost the entire population.
