Israeli jets bomb Bureij and Nuseirat camps after evacuation order

The Israeli military has launched a series of air attacks on the Bureij and Nuseirat refugee camps, hours after ordering Palestinians there to leave, according to Palestinian media.

The Wafa news agency is also reporting that Israeli forces have burned several homes in Nuseirat.

Three killed as Israeli jets, drones attack Gaza City

The Wafa news agency is reporting that three Palestinians have been killed and several others wounded after Israeli fighter jets bombed a home in the Sabra neighbourhood of Gaza City. The casualties included women and children, Wafa added, citing local sources.

‘Enough of this. Where do we go?’

In the wake of the latest Israeli evacuation orders, Palestinians in central Gaza said they’ve been forced to flee several times and that there is nowhere left to go.

“I swear, I don’t know where to go. In 1948, they were displaced once,” said Um Mohammad, a displaced Palestinian in the Bureij refugee camp. “But this is the 10th time for us. I swear to God, I don’t know where to go.”

Abu Omar, another Palestinian in Bureij, called for an end to the war.

“Find a solution for us. Enough. Where do we go?” he said. “They destroyed our homes. They killed our children. They displaced our women and men. Where do we go? Enough of this. Where do we go?”
