Residents of Gaza’s Al-Maghazi refugee camp have returned to their neighbourhood only to find blocks of concrete strewn where their homes had stood just a day ago.

“These houses are destroyed. Our house was bombed,” said camp resident Abu Rami Abu al-Ais amid the debris.

“There’s no safe place in the Gaza Strip.”

Israel says it issues evacuation orders and warnings so civilians can get to safety before military activity, but Zeyad Awad said there was no advisory before the strike.

“What should we do? We are civilians, living peacefully and wanting only safety and security,” he said.

“Yet we are suddenly struck by Israeli warplanes without any warning.”
