Palestinians flee North Gaza amid Israeli bombardment

Israel has carried out numerous deadly attacks since laying siege to the north of the enclave more than two weeks ago.
War-weary Palestinians are fleeing north Gaza amid a continuing and deadly siege by Israel’s military.
Online videos showed hundreds of displaced people on Monday funnelling into a checkpoint manned by soldiers in Jabalia, the focus of the massive Israeli military operation launched against the city in early October.
Trapped for days as Israeli forces unleashed the sweeping assault, people in the area have been rounded up and searched by soldiers before being instructed to leave.
Walking past an Israeli tank on a rubble-strewn dirt road, they were frisked as they passed through a checkpoint in single file.
The UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, estimates that about 400,000 people remain in Gaza’s north, including Gaza City, which hosts the Jabalia refugee camp.
