Gaza on the Brink: Mass Displacement and ‘Complete Destruction’ Feared as israeli Offensive Intensifies
Gaza City – Panic grips the population of Gaza as Israeli forces escalate attacks on Gaza City, systematically destroying residential buildings and threatening a complete siege, military occupation, and mass expulsion south. The situation, described by aid workers as ”terrifying,” is pushing hundreds of thousands towards already overcrowded and desperate conditions.”People are terrified. They have no idea where to go,” Amjad Shawa, director of the palestinian NGOs Network (PNGO), told World-today-News.com by telephone from Gaza City. PNGO represents dozens of Palestinian non-governmental organizations.
This week has seen a dramatic increase in Israeli airstrikes targeting Gaza City, building on 22 months of sustained conflict. The renewed offensive focuses on the Sabra and Al-Zeitoun neighborhoods in the eastern parts of the city, raising fears of widespread massacres. Many residents are already living amongst the ruins of previous attacks, with limited shelter and dwindling resources.
Siege and Overcrowding in the South
The Israeli military aims to concentrate the entire population of Gaza in the south, but conditions there are no better. Hundreds of thousands are already crammed into overcrowded tent camps in areas like Deir Al-Balah and Al-Mawasi,facing hunger and continued airstrikes.
“In Deir Al-Balah and Al-Mawasi it is indeed in no way better,” Shawa confirmed.”The current siege will lead to a complete destruction of the city.”
The Palestinian Health minister reports a death toll exceeding 62,000 due to Israeli violence in Gaza, though estimates suggest the actual number is substantially higher.

A Cycle of Displacement and Trauma
The current crisis echoes the October 2023 order for approximately one million residents of northern Gaza to evacuate south. While some returned during a temporary ceasefire with Hamas six months ago, many were displaced repeatedly before that.
Shawa,himself displaced for fifteen months,exemplifies the desperation. “I have no other place to go. Where do I have to go with my wife, children, and mother who can’t walk well?”
The vast majority of Gaza City residents have nowhere to flee. The population includes a high proportion of sick, malnourished, wounded, and amputees, alongside those suffering deep psychological trauma.
“Who is going to walk south if you have an old woman or sick person with you?” Shawa asked.
Despite the immense challenges, thousands have recently moved south, particularly from the besieged Jabalia, following Israeli “evacuation orders.”
“We Would Rather Die Here”
For 21-year-old Sara Awad, a student and writer from Gaza City, fleeing south was not an option until recently. ”we would rather have been in danger here than live in a tent,” she told World-Today-News.com. Awad, who studied English at the Islamic University in Gaza City (now destroyed), is struggling to continue her education through online lessons.
While her neighborhood hasn’t yet received an evacuation order, Awad fears what will happen if the army advances. “We are no longer able to get the occupation [Israeli army] to be seen in front of our house, and to hear the sound of tanks, drones, and constant air strikes.”
