Journalist Reports from Rafah: I Always Imagine Myself Being Blown Up

Support our work: We speak with journalist Akram alSatarri, reporting from Rafah, the southernmost part of Gaza bordering Egypt, where more than a million Palestinians are now packed together following forced relocations from elsewhere in the territory. Israel is threatening to launch a ground invasion of Rafah, which Israel had previously designated as a safe zone. AlSatarri describes how hunger, thirst and other pressures are impacting the displaced population as the death toll continues to rise from Israels assault. Every single time I walk one step in Gaza, I always imagine myself being blown up, he says. The killing is massive. The killing is thorough. And I think no one in Gaza is protected, no safe haven.
