Badriya al-Kilani, an 80-year-old Palestinian woman from northern Gaza, has been displaced and forced to seek refuge in the central Gaza Strip.
“I left my home barefoot, with nothing, and walked among the corpses,” she told Al Jazeera.
The heavy bombardment forced her and her family to flee, but she said her frail body was unable to keep up.
“You go ahead and leave me here to die, save yourselves,” she told her family at one point.
Currently residing in a makeshift camp in Deir el-Balah, al-Kilani – also known as Umm Wissam – recalls being displaced to the same area during the 1948 Nakba, when she was just four.
