"I want to die every time I see children's eyes", chilling

As Israel intensifies its offensive in Khan Younis, Palestinians in Gaza have spoken of their fears for the future.

Displaced families have already left the area of ​​Nasser Hospital, the largest still operating in the territory.

More than 24,000 people have been killed in Gaza since Israel began its response to Hamas attacks on October 7, according to the Palestinian health ministry.

Most of Gaza's 2.3 million residents are displaced and "struggle" every day to find food, drink and medicine.

“I lost my house, my shop and my source of income. I am no longer able to provide the simplest necessities of life for my children. I hold the Israeli occupation responsible for the mass destruction, but I do not absolve Hamas of responsibility for everything that happened. The worst that can happen is that we go back to the previous situation, to a war every two or three years. The situation was difficult before the war and now it has become catastrophic. Commodity prices have increased tenfold and most basic goods are unavailable. I prefer death every time I look in the eyes of my children and I feel so helpless, as I am not able to feed them," Mohammed al-Khaldi, a father of two displaced from Gaza City, told the BBC.

Meanwhile, Neveen Imadedin, a mother displaced from her home in Gaza City and now living in the southern city of Rafah, told the BBC that her home was raided by looters.

"We want the war to end, but with a stable long-term political solution. We want our country to have no more war. Thieves stole everything from my house, clothes, household furniture and even solar panels.
My house is located in the western part of Gaza City and was hit by four shells from the Israeli tanks controlling the neighborhood. We have moved here to Rafah and before that we were in Khan Younis. We have no money and are left without a home, the unstoppable wars between Hamas and Israel have ruined our lives," she said.
