The Assignment with Audie Cornish

What It's Like to Evacuate in Gaza

Thousands of people have already been killed in the Israel-Hamas conflict. And Israel has told residents of northern Gaza to evacuate roughly 20 miles to the south for their own safety. This week Audie talks with CNN’s Yahya Abou-Ghazala as he shares the stories of the people who have been told to flee, and what it’s been like trying to get stories out of Gaza right now. 
Read Yahya’s recent stories: 
They followed evacuation orders. An Israeli airstrike killed them the next day. 
In Gaza, Palestinians have no safe place from Israel’s bombs
