"Ms. Soliman, who lives with several other women and a 7-year-old, said she cannot join them because her mother uses a wheelchair and is unable to travel.
'I simply cannot take her out,' Ms. Soliman said by telephone from her apartment in Jabaliya, which has been shattered by Israeli airstrikes over the past year. 'I cannot leave her either,' she added, 'So we all stayed.'
Her dilemma mirrors that of many civilians in northern Gaza, a part of the enclave that is the subject of mounting international concern and rising casualties. It is not clear how many people have obeyed military orders to evacuate north Gaza but around 400,000 people remain, according to U.N. estimates. Some, including the sick and disabled, cannot leave."
