YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAhead of a ground invasion that officials threatened would be a “mighty hurricane,” Israel ordered the entire population of Gaza City—over one million people—to evacuate. For those in Gaza City, many of whom have already been displaced multiple times, this order presents a deadly choice: flee into the unknown yet again, or stay and face the advancing Israeli army. “We already experienced displacement,” Ziad Ayyad, a refugee in Gaza City, says. “We can’t do it again. We’re staying here. Whatever happens, happens. Even if they crush us under their tanks.” In August 2025, TRNN asked Palestinians if they plan to evacuate or stay as Israel attempts to completely depopulate Gaza City. This is what they told us.
