The humanitarian pauses announced by the Israeli army are only on Salah al-Din Street, not on the streets leading to it, Mohammed R Mhawish, a Palestinian journalist based in Gaza, told Al Jazeera from Gaza City.
“Within the city, the fighting is ongoing, and all the roads in the city are destroyed,” he said, adding that there’s no way to get to Salah al-Din from downtown Gaza City.
Palestinians have mainly been using Salah al-Din Street to flee towards southern Gaza.
Mhawish is staying with 30 other members of his family, most of whom are elderly and unwell or small children, making planning a long trek nearly impossible.
They cannot leave, food is running out, and they are unsure what tomorrow will bring, he said.
