Thousands remain trapped as Israel sowed confusion and panic early in the week with an order for Gazans to evacuate to the south of the strip. The order was haunting: an echo of the Nakba, Palestinians said, when in 1948 Israeli militias drove out entire families from their land. Amid the bloodbath, Palestinians have tried to find small pockets of what little joy they can, with mothers in Gaza consoling their terrified children in the few ways available to them: through games, hugs and YouTube. "This is the fifth war I've experienced as a mother and each time, I turn to YouTube and online articles to enhance my understanding of how to support my daughters during times of conflict," said Rawan, a mother in her 30s. In Gaza City, a man and his donkey trudge through bombed-out neighbourhoods, ensuring people don't go thirsty under the Israeli siege that has cut off water and electricity. Jameel al-Karoubi used to sell vegetables, but now he distributes water for free. "As long as my people are in need," he said, "I'll be there." |
