JABALIA, Gaza Strip - Palestinian Umm Mohammed Khrouat says she would rather live in a tent than the school where she is forced to shelter with her five children in northern Gaza, so bad are the conditions after nearly eight months of war.
Israel has laid waste to much of the Gaza Strip since Hamas attacked southern Israeli communities on Oct. 7, killing some 1,200 people and abducting about another 250, according to Israeli tallies. Israel declared an end to its most recent operation in Jabalia on May 31, saying the military had destroyed 10 km of tunnels and several weapons production sites in days of fighting that included more than 200 airstrikes.Philippe Lazzarini, the head of the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees , has described images from Jabalia as horrific. Thousands of displaced people had no choice but to live amid the rubble and in destroyed UNRWA facilities, he said in a June 1 post on X.
