· 5 pulledThis area is made up of tents sheltering civilians—displaced people, people who lived through oppression, humiliation, famine, war and siege. And the whole place was bombed.
I saw body parts scattered everywhere. Children were screaming for their parents. The tents were on fire.
We have been displaced seven times already. Where are we supposed to go? They told us this area was safe.
The bombing happened without warning. There was no evacuation order, no warning—just a missile hitting the tents.
My son was playing outside the tent. One moment he was there, the next he was gone.
