Displaced Palestinians ‘desperate for a ceasefire’
People are so tired. They’re devastated and they’re waiting for any good news. Yesterday, everyone was looking forward to an announcement [about a ceasefire]. People had high hopes.
I’m at an area now where people from Gaza City have evacuated. These people could not find any place to go so they have pitched tents on the coastal road. They’ve been waiting for hours for drinking water.
There are no hot meal kitchens, no medical points. People are dying due to malnutrition. This has been the case for the past couple of months.
Palestinians were very happy with the last ceasefire – they were able to go back to their houses. Now, they’re deprived once again. So, Palestinians here are desperate for a deal, desperate for a ceasefire, even if it’s for a couple of days. They are very tired.

Pregnant mother among latest Israeli attack victims in southern Gaza’s al-Mawasi
One of the latest Israeli attacks hit a tent in al-Mawasi, the so-called safe humanitarian zone. Israeli forces targeted a tent where a father, a mother who is seven months pregnant and their child were staying.
This shows that wherever Palestinians go, they are still being targeted. And al-Mawasi is one of the places Palestinians believe is the safest because Israeli forces designated it as such, but they have been targeting it over and over as well.
There have also been a couple of attacks in central Gaza’s Bureij, but the main attacks have been in Gaza City, where Israeli forces have been wiping out residential blocks. Israeli ground forces are also present in different parts of the city, such as Tal al-Hawa and Nassr.
There are dozens of Palestinians trapped under the rubble in areas that civil defence and rescue teams are unable to reach.
