For Mansour Shouman, a Canadian in the Gaza Strip, a blast at a hospital that was said to have killed hundreds has deepened fear among Palestinians in the territory under constant bombardment, and convinced residents that nowhere is safe.
Shouman, 39, who worked as a consultant for the gas and oil industry in Calgary, relocated to the Middle East in 2006 with his five children and wife.
Shouman said that some Palestinians who had been sheltering at Gaza hospitals have decided to relocate following the explosion, moving to a United Nations school, a relative's home or the streets."If it's meant for us to die in a hospital bombing, so be it. We will die with our heads up high, holding steadfast in our grounds," said Shouman, as he sat under a tent in a hospital complex in the southern Palestinian city of Khan Yunis.
"Some people in Gaza went through four or five wars so they always have a precautionary food inventory in their houses, however...the burden has increased given the increased number of people and children that they have to feed," Shouman said. "I'm just trying to channel my disappointment and anger to action...because if you just sit idle, doing nothing given what you're seeing, hearing and feeling around you, you might go mad," he said.
Salim, 33, said another relative told him that a nearby bakery that was her only source of food was bombed on Tuesday night.
