Since then, Gaza's Health Ministry says 12,300 Palestinians, including 5,000 children, have died in the Israeli military operation.
Many, like Laila Abu Nemer who moved from Gaza City to the south, wonder how her family can survive the Israeli onslaught now in its seventh week.
Nourhan Saqallah quit Gaza City and moved to Deir Al-Balah after Israel urged people to move to the south.
