Displacement the ‘new normal’ for Palestinians in Gaza

The majority of people in Gaza City’s Shujayea and Tuffa neighbourhoods — located in the eastern part of the city — are displaced Palestinians, Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud reports from Deir el-Balah, central Gaza.

They have found themselves in another dilemma, pushed to move west after the Israeli military issued sharp evacuation orders, sending text messages and dropping leaflets. Those orders came around 30 minutes into the military’s operations in the area.

People are being forced into internal displacement over and over. It is becoming part of their daily routine, a new normal.

Some families are still trapped in areas under evacuation orders, given the dense presence of quadcopters, surveillance drones and heavy artillery. The operation continues.
