Palestinian family takes shelter inside ruins of a mosque

Video posted on Instagram by Palestinian journalist Nahed Hajjaj shows a family in Rafah, Gaza’s southernmost city, taking shelter in the rubble of what once was a mosque.

Rafah currently hosts upwards of 1.5 million displaced Palestinians who have fled Israeli bombardment in other parts of the Gaza Strip. Israel has promised to invade the city, the last untouched by a ground offensive in the territory, but it’s closest ally, the US, has said that it will not support those plans without a comprehensive strategy to protect civilians there.

Though the ground offensive has not started yet, Israel continues to bomb the city.

Pretty smart really, although Israel does bomb the same place twice occasionally. This looks pretty bombed out, safer than anywhere else...
