Fire shots heard as Palestinians forced to evacuate areas in Gaza City

Fire shots are being heard as crowds of residents and displaced Palestinians are forced to evacuate their homes in the Tuffah, Daraj and the Old City neighbourhoods of Gaza City, al-Jazeera English reported.

Intense airstrikes have been hitting these areas, after the Israeli army had issued an evacuation order in areas in the western part of Gaza City earlier today.

It was reported earlier that heavy fighting has been taking place near the areas, which were close to the Shujayea neighbourhood.

“Civilians have nowhere to go and the suffering continues,” the l-Jazeera reporter said.
