Muhammad Asfour and his family: Israel warned them to evacuate Gaza City, but they can’t

Subhi Muhammad Asfour came to northern Gaza in search of food, a home and hope. Instead, he and his family are hungry and terrified, as Israeli evacuation orders threaten to force them to move for a seventh time since the war began.

“I came to western Gaza looking for a place to put up a tent,” Asfour, 46, told NBC News. He said transporting his family from the area, as the Israeli military has told Palestinian civilians to do, would cost $500 or more. “I don’t have money,” he said.

“I’m afraid for my children, but where can I go?” he said. “There’s no place and no safety.”

“I want the war to end. I want to sleep. I want to take a shower. I want to eat. We want to raise children,” he said. “God willing, the war will end before we get tired, flee and die.”
