Here in Gaza, what is happening under Israeli military bombardment has never been seen before. Homes are being destroyed without residents being warned. Israeli missiles are hitting high-rise buildings, mosques, streets – and we are asking ourselves “What’s still to come?” It’s a question we fear to answer.
At Medical Aid for Palestinians, we have released all our pre-positioned stocks of medical supplies to hospitals, as health services have been overwhelmed by the huge influx of injuries. On Saturday, I was going home from a visit to one of our warehouses after having distributed emergency supplies. Suddenly, the sky flashed orange, and there was a massive explosion. I saw people running, leaping for cover, covering their heads, as the airstrike hit. A house had been bombed – one that had been rebuilt after having been destroyed during Israel’s military offensive in 2021.
