“Nowhere in the Gaza Strip is safe…It does feel like people are waiting for death,” said Louise Wateridge, spokesperson for the UN agency for Palestine refugees, in an online message on X. “Areas that were (in) the humanitarian zone are now the front line”, she told UN News, noting also that Gazans “are never more than a few blocks away from the front line now”.

“This displacement from Deir Al-Balah is our fourteenth,” said Yahya Halas, a displaced person from the Shujaiya neighbourhood east of Gaza City. “We were displaced from Shujaiya to the city of al-Zahraa to Rafah then to Khan Younis twice and to Deir Al-Balah three times. How long will this continue?”

He said being displaced is “not just about carrying a bag”.

“Displacement is like the soul leaving the body,” Mr. Halas said. “We have children and women. We have belongings and food. Where will we go when all the displaced people go west? If you go to the west of Deir Al-Balah, you won’t be able to walk because there are so many people already there.”

At least 84 percent of Gaza now falls within the evacuation zone, according to the UN, which also estimates that 90 percent of Gaza’s residents have been displaced over the course of the war. In August alone, the evacuation orders have been issued roughly every two days and displaced nearly 250,000 people, the UN said.

Impressively stacked,

ocean of sleep,

employed in affair,

un-evolved, pulverize,

grieved many goodbye,

this slated world,

submerge in wine,

open day air,

watch it drip,

drop by drop,

total time,

genocide phase,

dismayed at no,

discernible change,

face down, end life,

big show down,

modest, regretful,

space stricken filled,

impregnable world,

turns away, spirit & dust,

entrusted to speak,

years to follow,

flickered nights,

birds announce,

day comes next,

flawless front,

compose, applaud,

flock compelled,

branded, brandished,

no human hope,

weight of god, bones by pound,

parched sand, packed to go,

names not numbers, seeded self,

erect, adequate, lock & key

I at least, at last,

jolted awake,

verbal performance,

romantic old, read & write,

seamed canvas, intimate act,

side by side,

nature’s hunched, hiding still,

man ravishes,

fear passing words,

homeless & lonely,

no one left,

grounded to come,

in family trees
