“We sought shelter in this school due to ruthless bombing. Our four-storey house was completely bombed, so we came here as we don’t have another shelter. We are living with 20 families in one classroom,” said Amira Ammom.

“There are elderly people, pregnant women, and infants. Where should we go with them? We don’t care about whatever the occupation will do,” she said.
