Prices at the Pumps - May 8, 2024 #saltwire #pricesatthepumps #gaspricesCAIRO/GAZA - As Israeli forces mass on the outskirts of the southern Gaza city of Rafah, Palestinians fear another"Nakba", when 700,000 of them were permanently driven from their homes at the creation of Israel in 1948.
In 1948, some Palestinians fled to neighbouring Arab states, including to Jordan, Syria and Lebanon, where many of them or their descendants still live in refugee camps. Some went to Gaza. Israel disputes the account that they were forced out.Mediators have failed to secure a lasting ceasefire between Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas.
Israel says it must hit Rafah to defeat thousands of Hamas fighters it says are holed up there. But the city is also a refuge for hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who fled combat farther north. Drivers charged her 1,500 shekels - 20 times the price before the war - for the journeys and, like many others, she also had to buy a tent.
