‘There Is No Safe Place To Run To’

From NPR.

“Palestinian Health Ministry Director-General Dr. Medhat Abbas told NPR on Sunday that there is no safe place to run to in Gaza.

His pregnant daughter, who is a doctor herself, was unable to run on foot after she received warning of an incoming Israeli airstrike on a home near hers. He said she called him panicking, unsure what to do. He advised her to lean crouch by a wall. He said these are the conditions residents in Gaza face, and that the hospitals are not prepared with enough hospital beds nor stocked well enough for war.

‘They say we have not started yet, we have not started yet. What’s the meaning of they will start? We don’t know what will happen if they will start,’ he said, referring to Israel’s response thus far. ‘Are they planning for a big massacre in Gaza? I don’t know. But they are only civilians who will pay for that.'”
