    This must be so scary. All the civilians are just fish in a barrel with nowhere to hide.

    “It’s not safe here in Khan Yunis, to be honest. There is no safe place here in Gaza. Safe does not exist. There’s bombs everywhere. Air strikes. There was an air strike 500 metres away from my house.

    “Everybody here in Gaza lost something. I know many of my friends who lost their houses in the north. I know people who lost their families and personally I lost my cousin. He was a good young man. He was working as a barber to help his family with money and for himself to get married. He was killed and murdered by an Israeli air strike.”
