She is among roughly 600,000 Palestinians United Nations officials have said fled south in response to Israel’s warning to evacuate “for your own safety”. However, repeated deadly strikes on the south of the territory in recent days have prompted 30,000 of the displaced to head back home, according to UN figures.
The strike “destroyed the second and third floors” of the apartment building in which multiple families, around 60 people, were sheltering, she said.“From my family, only me and my daughter Raghad are still alive. We are alive but I cannot say that we are well,” she said.“They told us to leave for the south and then they killed us ,” Saqallah said, calling Israel’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu “a liar”.
“We live in humiliating conditions here. Nothing to eat, nothing to drink, no toilets and, to top it all, there are bombs going off everywhere,” he said.Some of those returning north have found it impossible to reach their homes due to the intensity of the bombing. “I, my wife, my children, and my brothers-in-law, roughly 40 people in total, live in a tent that can’t be more than 3sqm. It’s unfit even for livestock,” said Mohammad Abou al-Nahel, one of those displaced.
