Al Jazeera spoke with several Palestinians who fled Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital.

Among them was Ismail Abderrahman Siam, who was pushing his wounded niece, Wiam, in a wheelchair. He said he felt powerless to protect her.

“Displacement, again and again! From Khan Younis to Rafah, from Rafah to Nuseirat,” he said. “We went back to our house in Nuseirat and they attacked the house and killed my brother. I’m her uncle, her father and mother were killed, now I’m responsible for her,” he said.

Another Palestinian man said he did not know where he and his sick son would sleep in the coming days. “On the street! Imagine. I’m with my six kids on the streets,” said Rasim al-Attab, who was sitting in the yard of the hospital with his son.

“We were displaced four times, from northern Gaza, from Khan Younis, from Deir el-Balah. Nobody’s taking care of us. People want to live a normal life, people are looking for money, and instead, they die on the streets.”
