The sounds of explosions are now constant in Gaza’s southern Khan Younis and with no safe place to shelter from Israel’s bombing, all that the approximately 1,200 displaced people staying at a school in the city can do is stay inside and try to stay alive, Al Jazeera reports.

“That’s the only thing we can do,” Indonesian medical volunteer Fikri Rofiul Haq told Al Jazeera.

Haq fled to Khan Younis after Israel recently attacked and destroyed the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza. Now, he says, the danger is ever present as Israeli forces fight their way to the centre of the city in southern Gaza.

“There is no basement at the school. When we hear the bombs dropping, we just stay in our rooms,” he said, referring to himself and two other volunteers from Indonesia sheltering at the school with other displaced people.

“I’m scared, I’m only human. But, after a while, the fear goes away,” he added.
