A video shared on social media revealed that by Wednesday, Gazans who were allowed back into the northern Strip the previous day, had already returned to “their tents” in southern Gaza while calling to “open the gates” so they might leave Gaza altogether.
They described the scene in Gaza City as “destruction, destruction, destruction. Complete destruction.”
“It’s all piles of sand.”
“We want to live, and sleep, we want to be able to find shelter from this thing,” they said. “We went [to the North] and now we’re back [in the South], there’s no shelter there.”
“It’s like a ‘lasagna’ of ruins – one layer on top of the other. There’s no water, no food, no drink, no life.”
They asked to “find us a solution.”
“This now is our place, our place where we want to return to.”
Others said they were heading “to the crossing” with Egypt.
“Open the border crossings for us so we can leave” Gaza, they begged.
Must watch!
Phenomenon: Gazans who arrived in the northern Gaza Strip return to the southern Gaza Strip after one day due to the great destruction and devastation in the north.
