It is estimated that 10,000 tents along the Gaza shore were damaged or washed away with as storms, rain and high tides decimated the area. I can’t even get my head around a site of refuge that is so desperately large that 10,000 tents can be lost in one night.
Meanwhile Israel escalated their strikes throughout Gaza including a devastating air strike on a school building where displaced Palestinians were sheltering in the Zeitoun neighbourhood, south of Gaza city. ‘
There is is nowhere left to go for the people of Palestine.
