He himself has now fled south with his wife and children. This is how he describes the camp where he grew up: – Jabelia is a concrete block. The houses are close together, the roads are less than half a meter wide. The place they bombed (Tuesday ed.anm) is the heart of the camp, in the middle of the camp. Most people know that Gaza is one of the most densely populated places on earth. Jabelia and the area that was bombed is the most densely populated place in Gaza, says Hammash.

But hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have defied the warnings and remained in their homes. In recent days, there have been reports that Israeli forces are trying to besiege Gaza City, as well as block the road to the south so that it becomes impossible to travel between the northern and southern parts of the Gaza Strip.
