“Seeing my daughter is a beautiful feeling, but we cry for the life we’re living.”

catches up with a mother living in a makeshift camp, who gave birth two days ago.
My brother’s father-in-law, Abu Mohammed (Farog Alsawalhi) 80 years old, was arrested by the Israeli army along with many civilians who were inside an UNRWA school in northern Gaza, because he was late in walking. The soldiers executed him in front of his children.
Throughout the war, I thought about my sister Aseel and her pregnancy under these circumstances. Today, a gilm of hope occupied my heart after she gave birth.
We do not need Egyptian fruits, the Turkish canned food or Qatari tents, all we need is to return home safely.
We will kiss its stones, even if they are rubble.
Muhammad, my wife’s nephew, did not commit any sin in his life except that he used to break toys. Muhammad died in an Israeli raid on the house to which his family had fled, thinking that they were safe. There is no safe place in this place that was teeming with life.
We can't get into Gaza, but Yousef Hammash lives there. He works for Norwegian Refugee Council and is a filmmaker - this is just some of his reporting on how children in Gaza have experienced the war

I am trying to do my job of spreading what is happening in Gaza, but the lack of internet and electricity prevents me from doing so. Very sorry it’s out of my hands.
The Israeli army asks the residents of eastern Khan Yunis in southern Gaza (Al-Qarara, Khuza’a, Bani Suhaila, and Abasan) to evacuate immediately and go to known shelters. Can someone tell me where these known shelters are?
How to survive the daily hunt for food and water in Gaza, under constant threat of airstrikes.
Filmmaker Yousef Hammash, who also works for the Norwegian Refugee Council, sent this report from inside Gaza.
The situation that does not require a political, military, or strategic analyst. No steadfastness sermon from leaders and media. It just needs to raise your voice loudly. Stop the war on Gaza. Stop the policy of displacement and systematic destruction. 5/5
The middle are is annihilated by hunger, high prices, and supplies of vegetables and goods cut off after the south was separated from the central governorate, in addition to its continuous bombardment day and night. 2/5
There are around 10,000 wounded in hospitals within a week, and this is close to the number of wounded in the 51 day war in 2014. This exceeds the capacity of the most advanced health systems in the world. Let alone a fragile health system that has been suffering for years.
Israeli army dropped this leaflet:
To the residents of Al-Qarara, Khuza’a, Abasan and Bani Suhaila. You must evacuate immediately and go to the shelters in the city of Rafah. The city of Khan Yunis is a dangerous combat zone. So now it’s the south of Gaza.
After so much efforts while we were displaced, proud of our work during this situation. today we open our office in Rafah southern Gaza Strip to have the ability to support more people who are in need. Thanks
@NRC_Norway
First shower in days, very happy for having the chance for it. BTW we take showers wearing our clothes becouse we dont want to die naked and this is not a joke.
Khan Yunis is being destroyed by displacement and continuous bombing. Rafah is bombed around the clock and receives newly displaced people from Khan Yunis, but there are no places to receive them. 3/5
One of my closest friends contacted me to help him reach his sister who has been missing since yesterday. I found her killed in an Israeli raid. How will I inform him?
Warning
The health system has begun to collapse
The number of injured people is greater than the hospitals’ clinical capabilities, even after they were expanded and the injured were placed in the corridors.
Inside Gaza: the reality of being displaced in Rafah - an eyewitness account from Yousef Hammash, a Gazan filmmaker and advocacy officer for the Norwegian Refugee Council.
Red Crescent: We received strong threats to evacuate Al-Quds Hospital because it will be bombed, and since the morning it has been witnessing very violent raids in its surroundings.
The targeting of Porphyrius Church in
#Gaza
city, which is the third oldest church in the world, hundreds of displaced people were seeking refuge inside it.
My sister decided to return from the south to the north today and this is her message:
The situation is very difficult, Youssef. Do not ever think about returning to northern Gaza. The bombing and the ambulances did not stop even for a single minute. A terrifying night.
In 15 days: 164,000 residential units were partially or completely destroyed, as follows: 5,635 residential buildings were completely demolished, including 15,100 residential units, about 139,000 residential units were partially damaged, including 10,656 units are uninhabitable.
Rafah original population is 300,000 people, in an area of 55 square kilometers.
The number of displaced people in UNRWA shelters 713,000.
The number of displaced people in the streets 268,000.
Meaning, there are now approximately 1,300,000 people in the city of Rafah.
Born and raised as a refugee in Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza. I lived in Gaza for 32 years, during which I witnessed many wars, but nothing was ever similar to this one. Now, after 178 days of war on Gaza, Refugee once again.
CEO of the Palestinian Telecommunications Group, Starting tomorrow, we will begin to lose major elements of the communications networks in Gaza, as a result of the near exhaustion of fuel, which will lead to a complete cessation of communications and Internet services by Thursday
74 dead bodies and 106 wounded were transferred to Al-Shifa Hospital since last night until now, and there are dozens of bodies lying in the streets of Gaza city.
MOH in Gaza: We have exhausted all attempts to extend the work of health services, and we only have a few hours until the hospitals in Gaza and northern Gaza are out of service.

How difficult it is to be at the helm of your work and carry your children, despite their need for caress, joy, and play, but carry them so that they may be buried.
