"The entire area transformed into a volcanic landscape as the army's rockets pounded the ground, turning it upside down. We prayed desperately to survive until dawn, to not be buried under the rubble."

Weekly summary of the War on Gaza, July 19

The act of evacuating one’s home is extremely emotional. Palestinians have a few minutes to pick up their belongings, important documents, food, water, and to decide where to go. Family memories cannot be carried in a handbag or suitcase. Photo albums and similar personal items must be left behind.

My name is Fidaa Fathi Abu Yousef. I am 40 years old and live in Al-Nuseirat Camp. The occupation killed my young son Odai. My dream is to continue Odai's journey, providing my children a good life, education, a home, stable job. I hope war ends soon. Eight months of continuous killing exhausts us.

My name is Yusra Salem Abu Awad, and I am 63 years old. The occupation took the lives of three of my grandchildren who fled to Al Shati Camp, denying me the chance to bid them farewell. They were buried in mass graves in Gaza City.

I am a Palestinian woman, 80 years old, born before the Nakba in 1948. I was 4 years old when Palestine was occupied. I live with my deaf children and 27 grandchildren in my house on the eastern border separating us from our occupied lands. My family has been in danger all our lives because of our proximity to the border, but I consider this place my life and I feel a strong connection to it. Our demand is the liberation of our homeland and our return to our homes destroyed by the occupation during this oppressive war.
