The Abumarzouq family in north Gaza has heard the order to leave ahead of Israel's expected ground assault. While they know it's not safe to stay, they're not going anywhere.
Hailma and Mahmoud Abumarzouq used their life savings to build their three-storey Gaza townhouse. They've called it home for the past 25 years."We hope that this miserable situation stop. We have the right to live like you, like all the rest of the people in the world."The war started after Hamas broke through Israel's border and killed civilians, which included an attack at a music festival and Kibbutzim in the country's south.
With a ground assault imminent, Israel has ordered more than 1 million civilians to leave northern Gaza. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Friday it would be impossible for civilians to comply with the evacuation order without devastating humanitarian consequences. Hamas is embedded throughout the city.
