GAZA: Ghadir Fleifel was in her tent with her daughter in Gaza City’s Sabra neighborhood on Tuesday when the strikes began.
“I took my daughter and ran. The dust was so thick we couldn’t see each other,” she told Arab News. “Then the F-16 missile hit. God knows how I got out. I never thought I, my daughter or the children would live. We saw death.”
The fire broke out after an Israeli airstrike hit a metal foundry next to the camp. Medics told Reuters the strike killed three people, destroyed the foundry and set nearby tents alight. The Israeli military did not comment on the strike.
The tents had been supplied by Saudi Arabia. Ibrahim Abu Mutlaq, an engineer with the Saudi Center for Culture and Heritage, which delivers aid in Gaza for the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre, said seven or eight of them were damaged.
“As part of the efforts of Saudi Arabia and KSrelief, we came to answer our brothers’ appeals,” he told Arab News. His team returned to the site to hand out replacement tents, food parcels and hygiene kits. “As you can see, there is nothing left in the area,” he said.
