Many Palestinians packed their belongings onto trucks, donkey carts, rickshaw and other vehicles, others dismantled their tents to move elsewhere, fleeing the incursion by Israeli forces into Gaza's southernmost town. The Israeli evacuation order left Palestinians in Rafah wrestling with having to uproot their families once again for an unknown fate, exhausted after months living in sprawling tent camps or crammed into schools or other shelters in and around the city.
