1. Various shots, people leaving, busy streets, crowded with vehicles carrying people’s belongings, animals
2. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Ghada Mannaa, displaced person:
“What happened is that we heard the news in the early morning, and also, they dropped leaflets that had indicated that certain selected areas should evacuate to the safe areas; The safe areas they are talking about are completely unsafe, and not suitable for habitation at all. There is also no electricity available, nor water, nor a health system. Also, the so-called safe areas are the same areas that have been hit and targeted since the start of the war, so we are in a dilemma here of what to do, that’s why people are scattered in the streets because we are not sure what to do. We either go to the safe areas to get hit there or simply stay here and die.”
