Melanie Ward, the chief of the Palestinian Aid Agency, said it is becoming impossible to sustain human life in Gaza as Israel continues its relentless bombing campaign in the Strip.

“They’re just trying to survive, like everyone else,” she said in an interview with CNN. “Some of the Palestinians in Gaza have been displaced at least six times in recent days.”

Ward said Gazans fear three things:

  • They will die from Israeli bombing
  • They will die from starvation
  • They will be displaced to Sinai
