Heavy rain increases the suffering of the people of Gaza during displacement (Getty).

Since the Israeli aggression and invasion of Gaza, people began to migrate from one area to another, from north to south, in search of a safe place to take refuge. With the continued forced displacement of residents of the northern and central Gaza Strip, the constant question on the lips of those forcibly displaced was, “Where do we go?”

Many of the videos that spread on social media platforms showed people’s suffering due to displacement, and the poor housing they resort to to protect them from the harsh winter cold.

However, there are scenes that are not documented by photographers’ lenses, but are written by those who witnessed them, to remain a witness to the war of extermination that Israel is waging against the people of the Gaza Strip.

A member of the Emergency Committee in the Gaza Municipality, Issam Al-Nabih, wrote a blog post on his account on the With her children from the rain, she tries to stop a car to protect them from the cold and wetness, her eyes eager for someone to respond.”

No one responded, the few cars were full, the children were shivering from the cold, the mother was trying without despair, where do the displaced people go? The woman does not tire, as if her eyes are speaking to the drivers: “Don’t carry me, just take the children.” A car stops, the woman is anxious, the driver wants to carry them, then more rain falls. The driver remembers that his car is completely full, and that he did not carry his whole family with him. He raises his hand in apology. The mother stands confused for a moment, looks at her children and goes back to continue trying.

Issam concludes his post with the mother’s painful question, which she repeated: “Where do we go? Where do we go?” The place is Al-Mughrabi Street, Gaza, and the time is dawn on January 30, 2024.
