In Gaza City right now, tens of thousands of Palestinians are under threat. Israel has ordered them to leave, calling it their ‘last opportunity’ before unleashing the full force of its assault.

The message from Israel’s Defense Minister Katz is chilling: anyone who stays behind will be treated as a terrorist or a terrorist sympathiser. Paving the way for their slaughter. The children, the pregnant, the sick, the elderly.

The continuous bombardment has reduced Gaza’s largest urban center to rubble — schools, homes, entire neighborhoods wiped out.

Dozens are being killed every single day. Families are forced to flee south, often bombed along the way, to an unknown fate.

Doctors Without Borders — MSF — has been forced to suspend its activities in Gaza City as the offensive intensifies. And yet, behind those headlines are the voices of people living this reality.

This week, I’m speaking with one of them: Nour Al-Saqqa, a Palestinian, herself displaced from Gaza City, and works as a communications officer with MSF.

This conversation is not about headlines or statistics. It’s about listening — to what it feels like to wake up in Gaza today, to carry grief and to hold on to the smallest fragments of life when everything around you is being destroyed.
