Clutching makeshift white flags, Gazans made their way in between dead bodies and Israeli troops as they followed Israel’s orders to flee across the Palestinian territory, AFP reports.

“It was so scary,” said Ola al-Ghul, one of the masses of Gazan civilians displaced.

“We held our hands up and we kept walking. There were so many of us, we were holding white flags,” she told AFP.

“We came by foot from the centre of Gaza to the south,” she said. “I was not expecting the distance to be that long.”

On the way, Sakani saw “bodies of martyrs, some in pieces”.
