PALESTINIAN families streamed out of Gaza City on Sunday, some crammed into pick-up trucks, others on foot, as Israeli forces pressed their assault on the territory's main urban centre.

Parents carried their children while the elderly hobbled along, an AFP journalist reported. A man in a wheelchair and another on crutches were among the long line of people heading south under Israeli military orders.

The military has issued multiple evacuation warnings for Gaza City, but many residents have told AFP they have nowhere else to go, noting that Israel has repeatedly struck the area in the south where it has urged people to move.
