THERE IS NO SAFE PLACE LEFT IN GAZA
May 16, 2024Louise Wateridge, UNRWA’s communications officer, speaks of the realities in Gaza and the absence of safety in the entire Strip.
“”I don’t want hear ever somebody tell me that there is a safe place in Gaza because there is not. Where is this safety? Because people are leaving for this safety, but there is no safety.””
Wateridge speaks of her colleague who fled Rafah to find a safe place and was struck with his entire family and killed. Gaza has NO safe option. Its residents are fleeing from one dangerous place to another with no hope in sight.
Rafah was the ONE protected area but Israel has breached this and the world has stood idly by. Halting a shipment of weapons is NOT enough! The US and others MUST SANCTION Israel and apply more pressure to stop their advancement!

English Script:
Louis Wateridge: I said goodbye to a colleague yesterday who was leaving Rafah with his one year old daughter and his wife, and the last thing he said is the most important thing is to be alive. He doesn’t know where he’s going. He knows there is very limited infrastructure, no access to water in Khan Yunis, in Al Mawasi. But he just said, I have to try and stay alive and I have to try and keep my daughter alive. That was his sentiment. Other colleagues have said to me, they’ve spoken to people who aren’t moving because they want to stay with their families in Rafah. They want to die together. They accept that if this is where they’re going to die, at least they will try and have some dignity and spend these last moments together. It’s horrific. It’s just horrific for everyone involved. There is no option and I don’t want to hear ever, somebody tell me that there is a safe place in Gaza because there is not. Today we found out some terrible news about our colleague Jamal, who fled Rafah with his family in the last days, and he has been killed in an Israeli strike. He has been killed with his family, looking for safety. Where is this safety? Because people are leaving for this safety. But there is no safety. Yesterday in Khan Yunis, families and children were relocating back to UNRWA’s schools that have already been destroyed. The classrooms are torched. I’ve been in these schools myself. They are a mess. There are walls missing, their roofs missing. There’s rubble everywhere, and yet there’s nowhere else to go, that families and children are moving back into these destroyed facilities. There’s no water there. There’s no running water in Khan Yunis. This is what we’re seeing and this is what we’re experiencing.
