‘Where can we go?’: Tens of thousands in Gaza flee their homes

Tens of thousands of Palestinians desperate for safety have fled their homes southwards in Gaza.

“We’ve lost our homes, we’ve lost our children. Where is the global community?” said Nouh Hammouda, who was among those fleeing.

“We left our homes due to the relentless bombardment. Where can we go now?” Hammouda added as people streamed southwards.

In the Indonesian hospital in Beit Lahia, in the northern Gaza Strip, a weeping father cradled the body of his two-year-old son Mohammed Abu Qamar, who died after an air strike.

“Please don’t put him in the morgue, let me take him home and I will bury him tomorrow,” his father Nidal said, as his wife screamed in grief alongside him.
