We were displaced from place to place, and now we have nowhere left to go,” says Umm Muhammad al-Shawish.
Umm Muhammad is desperately searching for a place to stay after Israel moved yellow concrete blocks to demarcate its areas of control in the Gaza Strip.
Families living in the al-Tuffah neighborhood of northern Gaza woke up Monday morning to find that the yellow concrete blocks had been moved westward to the middle of Salah al-Din Street, a major thoroughfare running from north to south in the Gaza Strip.
Nearby, an Israeli flag flew atop an earthen barrier about three meters high.
The al-Shawish family’s home was destroyed during the war. On Sunday, they were forced to flee again after the Israeli military called to warn of an attack on a nearby building. The only shelter available to them was a tent, which was torn apart by the airstrike.
Israel had previously agreed to withdraw its forces from various parts of Gaza to a designated demarcation line known as the “yellow line,” under the terms of a US-brokered ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas last October.
