I am speechless.
The situation in Tal Al-Sultan is very critical. All night, we could not sleep (thank God anyhow). All night we heard the clashes, the bombings, and the sound of rockets. Nobody knows what is happening exactly. There are clashes in two different locations in the Tal Al-Sultan area, in the north and in the south. I am speechless—I can’t even describe what is happening. We are scared for ourselves, for our children. We were not expecting this to happen so suddenly.
Unfortunately, I could not go to work today because I am packing the necessities for me and my children to move to (yet) another place. I am with the rest of my family—around 15 people—who are sheltering here. The situation is so difficult. My sister recently gave birth, and she has a newborn baby. Everyone is very terrified. Where shall we go? We are heading to the so-called ‘safe zone.’ But there is no safe space here after what happened the day before yesterday with the burning of tents. We make the effort to go to the safe spaces they announce, and in the end, they are not safe. We are forced to stay in tents, where we will be exposed to the heat and sand. We have to struggle to find water every day, the basic services that every human being needs to stay alive. The situation is very miserable.
