Khan Younis, Gaza Strip – 19 August 2024
1. Various of tents, makeshift camp in Khan Younis
2. Various of displaced people and destroyed buildings
3. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Ahmad Fouda, displaced man from Rafah:
"America means death, and Blinken is the angel of death for the Palestinian people, for Arabs, and for Muslims. America will never bring us good, and anyone who expects to find good from America, Blinken, Biden, or even Trump is delusional. Blinken is only coming for Netanyahu, his spoiled child, to save him and get him out of the crisis he is in."
4. Wide of displaced people
5. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Masoud Abu-Dbaa, displaced man from Rafah:
"As usual, the Americans play; they play the judge and the executioner at the same time. America is the official supplier of weapons (to Israel), and at the same time, they would be the judge who rules fairly between us and the Israeli entity. This is the tenth visit through which he is trying to buy time in order to exterminate as many as possible of the Palestinian people, more and more. What I expect of him is failure, and more pressure on the weaker party, us."
6. Displaced people
7. Rubble
8. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Hani Naeem, displaced man from Beit Hanoun:
"There’s no hope from America, nor from Israel. Evasion for 10 months; American pressures without any results. We are used to the evasion from America and Israel."
9. Wide of displaced people
10. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Khaled Abu-Zarqa, displaced man from Gaza city:
"Before that, they said there was pressure and that it was close to a solution, but that was useless talk. We hope to God that there will be a complete ceasefire this time, and that the displaced will return to their homes."
11. Various of Hussein Slaibi sitting outside his house in Khan Younis camp
12. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Hussein Slaibi, man living in Khan Younis camp:
"The entire area that they call safe has become like an area for organized (Israeli military) operations, where people are crammed in from all over the Gaza Strip. It is uninhabitable, and lacks the necessities of life, such as water, food, medicine, furniture and cleaning materials. This entire narrow area, which is not suitable for several hundred people, has become a place where more than two million displaced, afflicted people are crammed in, lacking the most basic necessities of life."
13. Wide of displaced people
14. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Hani Naeem, displaced man from Beit Hanoun:
"What’s left? You give me 11% of an area that is not enough for a quarter of the population of the Gaza Strip? And you cram in people who are without homes, without water, without electricity, without sewage, without bathrooms, no food, no drink — and if there is food, it enters in an inhumane way."
15. Wide of displaced people
16. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Rania Jundiyyah, displaced woman from Gaza city:
"We are being displaced everywhere. They (Israeli army) tell us to go to the humanitarian areas, but they (Israeli army) bomb these humanitarian areas. Where do we go? Where do we go? All the people are crammed into Muwasi. Where will we go after Muwasi? And they still bomb the humanitarian areas. They drop leaflets on us, call us, and tell us to head to certain places. There is absolutely no safety."
17. Wide of destroyed house
18. Wide tents, makeshift camp in Khan Younis
