Israeli airstrikes have turned Rafah, Gaza’s southernmost city, into a zone of chaos and despair. Refugees who fled to the area seeking safety now describe life as a relentless nightmare, with bombings destroying shelters and leaving families exposed to the elements. 🚨
‘No Food, No Sleep, Just Fear’
Local refugees told CGTN Stringer that Rafah was their last hope. \"We’ve been displaced five times—nowhere is safe,\" one mother said, holding her children close. Others shared stories of sleepless nights, empty stomachs, and the haunting uncertainty of tomorrow.
A City on the Edge
With infrastructure crumbling, aid groups warn of a humanitarian catastrophe. Thousands are crammed into makeshift tents, while hospitals struggle to treat the injured. \"We’re living like ghosts,\" said a teenage survivor, echoing the trauma of a generation caught in the crossfire.
Calls for Peace Grow Louder
Amid the rubble, voices pleading for ceasefire agreements and international intervention are rising. Yet for many, hope is fading fast. \"All we want is to go home,\" an elderly man whispered—a sentiment repeated across Rafah’s shattered streets.
