Since October 7th last year, the Yarmouk Stadium, one of Gaza’s largest stadiums, has transformed from a football field into a shelter for tens of thousands of Palestinian refugees fleeing the bombing and genocide in the region.
Follow-ups – Al-Khabar Al-Yemeni:
Instead of hearing the sounds and cheers of the crowds, the refugees in the stadium now hear the noise of tanks, bombings, children’s cries, and mothers’ screams. The stadium’s nets have become tents, and its grassy fields have become a final refuge, while the stands are filled with families who sought refuge from the bombardment and missiles.
Thousands of displaced people in Gaza have sought refuge in the Yarmouk Stadium, which was previously considered the largest football stadium in the region, where families live in harsh conditions with little food and water. Temporary tents have been set up under the stadium’s stands, and clothes are hung to dry in the dusty and dry corners of the stadium.
The stadium houses many residents of the region displaced from the Shuja’iya neighborhood, located 3 kilometers away, which has been subjected to intense shelling and has become nearly deserted since the start of the Israeli war on Gaza. Many have ended up at the stadium, where they have nothing left to return to.
