‘There was no safe corner in Gaza’

“For those who survived the bombing of their neighborhood by running away on time, it was only the beginning of the nightmare. In most humanitarian responses, displaced people could eventually find some sort of safety, but the past nine months had confirmed there was no safe corner in Gaza,” said Yasmina Guerda. “The ongoing fighting had killed over 200 aid workers in nine months.”
