Torrent of people carrying children, helping elderly relatives, holding possessions in carrier bags head south
On Salah al-Din, the broad main highway that runs along the Gaza Strip, the trickle of those fleeing on foot from Israel’s war against Hamas has become a torrent, with about 15,000 people attempting to make the perilous journey on Wednesday.
Under white flags, and carrying a few possessions mainly in carrier bags, exhausted parents led their children on Wednesday or carried them under the watch of Israeli tanks as the sounds of war rang out in the near distance.
