🇵🇸🇮🇱 Ahmad Mohammad, a resident of the Gaza Strip, gives Sputnik his harrowing account of the situation in the wake of Israel’s evacuation warning

“Water and electricity have been completely cut off in Gaza. We buy sweet water from the shops that are still open in some areas, but clean drinking water is scarce. There is no electricity. Many people are not even aware that they need to evacuate because the Israelis are not dropping leaflets in all areas. Many Gazans without internet or electricity do not have access to information about where and how to go. Many people simply have nowhere to go. 2.5 million people cannot leave their homes at such short notice, leave their sick and elderly relatives behind, and go in search of a new roof over their heads. Nobody knows what will happen next.”
