Hossam Wail Abu Shammallah, a resident of Gaza, told Al Jazeera that he has lost 120 members of his family since the Israeli bombardment began on Oct 7.
“The amount of massacres, ethnic cleansing and displacing people multiple times. If we look at the statistics, we are already past the number of the Nakba,” he said, referring to the mass displacement of Palestinians during the 1948 “catastrophe”.
“We are at the point that it’s quite impossible to find someone that hasn’t lost anyone, whether from his family, friends, relatives, or someone from work or school,” Shammallah told Al Jazeera.
