Second day of the war, my family got warned to evacuate their home and they did it, as the whole neighbourhood did.

Now, the home and the little farm are destroyed, as is the whole neighbourhood which is now a ghastly, uninhabitable place.
My family now is at my sisters home in another area. There are more than 30 persons in that home.

NOW my sisters area is under threat as it’s located in North Gaza which got a rain of leaflets from Israeli army ordering people to evacuate ‘everyplace’ or risk death…people must head to South Gaza.

There’s no traffic to transport people from North to South, since Israel cut off all fuel to Gaza, bombed the roads and are still bombing everywhere.

My mother is too old to walk for hours, my father is very sick, my sisters have small children.

It’s impossible for approximately 1.1 million people living in northern Gaza to evacuate the area within the next 24 hours.

NOW my mother made her decision telling me ‘I’m not leaving, they can kill me. I lost our home and farm and they are still burning now. I have nothing left there, moreover me and your father are not able to flee again’.
