Shotlist

1. Various shots, improvised encampments of displaced people
2. SOUNDBITE (English) Olga Cherevko, OCHA Gaza:
“There are people sitting on the side of the street for days and sleeping out in the street for days without knowing where to go. Absolutely horrific stories of people walking, and looking for places, being told to move yet again and again. And there's no end to the suffering. What we need is urgent action to ensure protection of civilians, to ensure that everyone has shelter, has dignity and hope until they can return home if they wish to do so.”
3. Walking shot, tents of displaced people
4. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Samed abu Ljidyan, Displaced person:
“We escaped the bombardment. You see how death is everywhere. Our lives have become
extremely difficult. We left the north for Gaza city and then came down to Khan Younis.
There are no tents, and no water and no food. We’re even living on a main street, We live in constant fear because of fast trucks passing by, we don’t know where to go anymore.”
5. various shots, displaced families
6. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Ahmad Ata Al-Hosun, Displaced person:
“We’re extremely burned out and tired of displacement. Four whole days on the road. We went all over Gaza and the places must be rented out. We don’t have money to rent. Or money to eat. We go to a new place everyday.
We came from west and have been stopping along the way. Hunger is killing us. We have nothing. We’re barefoot. Just the water jugs and the bag. This is it.”

8. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Sabah Hussain Ghaben, Displaced”
“What we went through was daunting.The hunger, the lacking of food, money, and work. Death follows us everywhere, bombing wherever we turn. When we went back north, we stayed for a month, and then they bombed us, we escaped.”
9. Wide shot, traffic and extremely overcrowded vehicles
10. Wide shot, Mohamad Shbair and family members in tent
11. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Mohamad Shbair, Displaced person:
