Palestinians ‘terrified’ as Israel’s raid on Jenin continues

Several residents of Jenin spoke to AFP on the conditions inside the besieged refugee camp as Israeli raids continue.

“It’s hard, it’s very hard for the children and for everyone else. We’re all scared, we’re terrified. Look at the destruction,” Faiza Abu Jaafar told the AFP, standing amid piles of rubble.

“We are living in dark days,” she said.

Taher al-Saadi said the Israeli siege has cut Jenin “off from the world”.

“The water is cut off. The electricity is cut off, the sewage system is no longer working. All the infrastructure is destroyed, we no longer have any services that work,” he said.

“The bakeries are at a standstill. We can’t find milk for the children,” he added.
