DATELINE: 13 JULY 2024, KHAN YOUNIS, SOUTHERN GAZA STRIP
1. Various shots, people sifted through the rubble, searching for their belongings
2. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Baha, 15-year-old:
“They were telling us it was a safe place, but when we were eating breakfast, we suddenly heard the bombing and the tent collapsed on us. After this building was targeted, dead bodies where all over the place and in front of the tent. Where is the safe place, they told us to go to al-Mawasi, it is a safe place, but where is safety. People, we need an immediate ceasefire now, we are tired. Wide shot, people sifted through the rubble, searching for their belongings.”
3. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Safa, 6-year-old:
“We were playing inside the tent, and suddenly my grandmother came and took us out when the bombing started.”
4. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Karm, 7-year-old:
“I saw the rockets falling.”
On Saturday (13 Jul) an air strike targeted the makeshift tents in al-Mawasi, Khan Younis, Southern Gaza Strip. That left internally displaced people (IDP), with no shelter.
Around 1.9 million people – about 9 in 10 of Gaza’s population – are estimated to have been internally displaced.
Half of them are children.
They do not have enough access to water, food, fuel and medicine.
Their homes have been destroyed; their families torn apart.
Many children have been displaced multiple times, and have lost homes, parents and loved ones.
They need to be protected, along with the remaining services that they rely on, including medical facilities and shelter.
