6. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Asmahan Belal, displaced from Gaza:

"Every time they (Israeli forces) tell us to go to a certain area, which was supposed to be safe, we come and find it not safe. There is no safety. Safety is in the hands of Allah, of course. As you see, these are desert areas that have no means of life. There is no water, no food, no drinking water, no aid and no one cares about us. Even with the issue of drinking water, we suffer. It’s a fight to get drinking water. There are also reptiles that appear at night and during the daytime hot weather. You find snakes and scorpions. It’s an unendurable life. No means of life, nothing."

12. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Anwar Salman, displaced from Gaza:
"We, as a people, are finished. There is no life here. We are not able to continue. We can’t live anymore. We want anyone from the officials to tell us where they want us to go. If they want to kill us, let them do it. Let them throw a nuclear bomb and end us. We are fed up. We are exhausted. We are dying a slow death every day."

"We have been displaced more than 10 times. Wherever we go, there is no safety. There is no means of life. There is no food and water. We walk long distances to get drinking water, and then we can’t carry it. We are tired, psychologically tired. Our children are tired. Wherever we go, there is no safety in the area we settle in. We have been moved more than 10 times. There is no safety."

STORYLINE:
Palestinian families who fled eastern Khan Younis in the latest wave of exodus in the war-torn Gaza Strip earlier this week, have struggled to find shelters in the overcrowded shelters and open areas in the western parts of the city.
Many have been forced to flee their homes multiple times since Israel launched its military campaign in Gaza nine months ago.
The newly displaced people have stayed in the open under July’s burning sun, without food, water and shelter.
