"We were at home and people started shouting," says Aida Abu Kas, "They called our neighbour and told him to evacuate within 20 minutes. There was screaming and running."
Israeli Military spokesperson Avichay Adraee told Palestinians to move to south safe zones away from Gaza City as Israel steps up its campaign on the town and against Hamas.

Hamas denies this.
Sousi is now no good to anyone.
A large pile of twisted rubble and crumpled concrete.
People tried to gather items from what remains.
Not much, in a desperate scene of devastation.
Residents scoured the rubble.
Less than an hour earlier this had been a 15-storey building of Palestinian homes.
Survivors reduced to shifting through rubble with their bare hands.
Some, already displaced, were living in tents in the shadow of the destroyed building.
They'd refused to move south.
They fear it is not safe.
Nadia says: "Displaced from the north we came to Gaza living in a tent. The whole row of tents were destroyed.
We heard the evacuation order and left before the strike. Tents aren't safe, houses aren't safe, there is no safe place anywhere."
In Israel, having seen the latest devastation and desperation in Gaza. more took to the streets to protest over the conduct of their government.
Thousands again, this weekend, gathering in Hostage Square to call for the return captives.
