Storyline: Gaza residents face shrinking shelter options and soaring relocation costs, with some families displaced dozens of times amid relentless bombardment as Israeli ground operations intensify across the strip. Among those repeatedly uprooted is Zaki Al-Sarhi, now fleeing for the 36th time. Each evacuation comes at a steep cost, with high fees for transport and relocation, a burden he bears under the constant threat of Israeli strikes. "Our old tent is already broken. If we buy a new one, we have to spend 2,500 to 3,000 new shekels (about 747.5 to 897 U.S. dollars). Previously, when we moved to the south, there were still some empty spaces, but now most of the land have been occupied and stationed by Israeli army," said Al-Sarhi. Local resident Shaaban Al-Batran had long refused to leave Gaza City, but the decision was no longer his to make. Days earlier, an Israeli drone strike hit his home, killing several young cousins. As he fled the wreckage, Israeli tanks opened fire on the street, forcing him into a journey he had tried desperately to avoid. "Now we have lost so many family members. We have to flee to the south. This is not easy, as the cost is high and the traffic is poor. Families are forced to be apart," said Al-Batran. Israel's military operations and prolonged blockade have devastated Gaza's economy, driving prices sharply higher and deepening the humanitarian crisis. "These days, the cost of fleeing, even for a small family, would be 1,500 new shekels. This is only for moving and transporting goods, not including tents and other stuff. If they want to settle down, at least 5,000 to 6,000 new shekels would be needed to set up tents and prepare living necessities," said Khaled Al-Selak, another local resident.
