Enough with the killing, we are drainedâ: Gaza residents
Limited supplies of aid have entered Gaza since Saturday, but displaced residents say the priority is for Israelâs relentless bombardment to stop.
âWe donât want aid, we want to return to our homes; enough with the killing of our children and slaughtering us,â Aziza Abu Mar said.
âWe canât sleep neither during the day nor at night because of the shelling and the misery we are living in. Enough, we do not have patience anymore, we are drained, we donât feel human anymore.â
Another displaced person, Nasser Abu Amar, said he fled his home without taking anything with him except the shirt and trousers he was wearing.
âThe aid they brought for us is nothing but a small amount of what is needed.â
