NS child killer Penny Boudreau and the path to eventual release | SaltWire - Palestinians in Gaza say Israeli bombardment has been so heavy they feel they are living their own"Nakba," the Arabic word for catastrophe that refers to the 1948 war of Israel's creation that led to their mass dispossession.
"The situation is crazy - literally no place is safe. I've personally evacuated three times since yesterday," said Alaqad, who has been filming personal accounts of life under bombardment and posting them on her Instagram page. "Only yesterday I understood what my grandpa, may he rest in peace, told me about 1948 and the Nakba. When I used to hear the stories about it, I didn't understand," she said via videocall from a home in Gaza where she and others were seeking refuge from bombardment after the surprise Hamas attack on Israel.More than seven decades after the Nakba, Palestinians still lament the calamity that resulted in their displacement and blocked their dreams of statehood.
Israel has already tightened its blockade of Gaza, fully banning food and fuel imports and cutting the electricity supply. Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant warned that the price Gaza would pay"will change reality for generations".
