CNN —A small, curly-haired boy walks wearily through the chapel of St. Philip, in Gaza City, northern Gaza, as Israeli drones whir overhead. “There is nothing left here.”In recent weeks, the Israeli military ramped up aerial attacks on parts of central and northern Gaza. Several Palestinians told CNN there is no peace to be found among the rubble. Israeli attacks on Gaza have since killed at least 29,313 Palestinians and injured another 69,333 people, according to the Ministry of Health in Gaza. “We saw stuff that no one has ever seen, and no one can even imagine,” Salah Abu Issa, a doctor who volunteers at the chapel, told CNN.

[1/5] Children look out of a window, as Palestinians flee north Gaza towards the south, in the central Gaza Strip, November 9.

Since Wednesday, as fighting has edged further into Gaza City, a large number of people have started moving south. Khaled Abu Issa, from Beach Refugee Camp adjoining Gaza City, said he had left after his neighbourhood was repeatedly pounded by artillery. As they passed Israeli tanks at the frontline they raised their arms to show their identity cards.
