Taking down their tents and packing up what’s left of their belongings here in Rua these Palestinians are desperate to flee the Gaza strip’s most Southernmost city after a night of Israeli air strikes as fears continue to grow of a looming ground assault we escaped the north with empty
Hands then we escaped kanun with almost empty hands we don’t want to repeat that we want to be ready this time we have children and women with us where should we go we’re sleeping in the nylon tent we’ll die instantly if a missile hits us Rua is where over half

It seems everyone is running away from 72 hoories and liquor river.
F around and find out. There was a cease fire but the Muslims broke it October 7.
I’m a whiny Muslim. Cry with me and let’s play the victim card together 😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫
And the oil and gas rich Muslim countries dosn't take them in as refugees, those rich countries has more foreign workers already than the entire population of Gaza. But they wont help because its in their geopolitical interests to have a Muslim population in conflict with Israel.
US are not supporting Rafah offensive yet are
They chose to run rather than stand and defend! 🫤🫤🫤🫤 nothing like the Ukraine
The actions of some do not dictate aggression against all. Very sad situation
Well who would have thought that Oct 7th will come with consequences?
This is not a genocide according to UK and US.
Do not be deceived God will not be mocked
Ps Your choice Egypt and Saudi Arabia and Jordan Choose life Iam the way the truth and the life no man comes to the Father but by me in
The, Gaza population, started out as refugees in ine bug camp. Run by the UN. Si, that means it is a UN Problem, that never was handled right. Israel belongs to God's Children, not Terriist
Why won't Egypt take them in?
The Brits used to hide in the tube during the Blitz.
Soooooo whats their excuse?
😂
Yes, thisbis what happens when a swarm of wasps attacks a giant. The wasps fly back i to the hive and the giant destroys the intire hive. Its called "natural selection". Stingers and buzzing wont help them now.
Expecting PEACE for ALL
Hamas has tried to obstruct any progress towards peace for decades. That is their mission. They are not representative of all Palestinians. They have held the region, including both Jews and Arabs, hostage.
Would the attack take place if hamas released the hostages??
"nowhere safe to go"? Isnt it simply nowhere safe to go?
Egypt
They were supposed to go to Al Marwasi but Hamas tell people to go to Rafah because they need human shields
Civilians, you mean the parents of hamas. To bad all countries think your not worthy of coming to thier land.
What happened to the threat by Egypt to terminate their agreement with Israel,??
dunkirk method of evacuation is the most effective send them all to US biden loves muslims additional votes for democrats.
Alhamdullilah that I was born in this era and during this time. Alhamdulillah that I have seen your face Netanyahu. In sha Allah I will recognize you on judgement day. In sha Allah I will testify against you on judgement day. May Allah grant me this testimony.
People should know what they invest in: “Been that way for 30 years.” – U.S. Justice Department on the lack of Human Rights in Oklahoma County Jail, 2020
“It is said that no one truly knows a nation until one has been inside its jails. A nation should not be judged by how it treats its highest citizens, but its lowest ones.” – Nelson Mandela 🥂🥂
Someone please help these poor people 😢
Where are human rights?
I feel nothing.
Everyone bashing israel for trying to free their people, nobody criticising hamas for not releasing them … what’s wrong with the world 😤
Asked hamas terrorist why this happended?
