Gaza City ex-school teacher: “I don’t have anywhere to go”

Israel has ordered everyone in Gaza City to evacuate, but many residents say that’s impossible. 

“We are all terrified,” said Montaser Bahja, a former schoolteacher sheltering in an apartment in western Gaza City near the coast. “Death would be more merciful than what we’re living through.”

“I don’t have anywhere to go in southern Gaza — no house, no tent, no car in which to travel.

“They’re not fighting Hamas. They’re fighting all of us civilians.”
