‘The soul longs for home’ – Palestinian girl talks about living in refugee camp

“We were told that we needed to leave [our homes] urgently, and we only had an hour to pack. The strikes began. We were walking while explosions were thundering around us. We were moving from house to house while bombs were falling everywhere. It was very hard to walk. Explosions were booming right behind us and many people were killed or injured," Hala Abu Taimah shared her experience of fleeing from war with Sputnik.

According to the UN, nine out of ten displaced Palestinians in the Gaza Strip live in overcrowded camps, while a total of 1.9 million out of 2.4 million Gazans have left their homes.

“Of course, we want the war to end. It’s already been a year, but nothing has ended. Before the war, I read and filmed videos. The soul longs for home," Abu Taimah said.
