00:00 Crowded with displaced people, the Arashid Road, which extends on the shores of Gaza,
00:08 is now the newest safe passage for Palestinians fleeing from the intense fighting between
00:13 Hamas militants and Israeli forces in the city of Khan Younis.
00:17 Nuhal Ashif, 40 years old, tells the story of her third displacement in less than three
00:24 months.
00:26 She was displaced from Gaza to eastern Khan Younis in early November.
00:30 Then she fled from that city to the UN training center in mid-December.
00:35 And now she is being displaced to the city of Rafah with her six children.
00:43 The army asked us to get out and evacuate the place immediately.
00:47 Tanks were surrounding the area and whenever we tried to get out, they fired at us intensely
00:52 from every direction.
00:53 We were confused.
00:55 They asked us to show our ID cards.
00:57 Then they arrested some of us and the rest of us went out towards Rafah.
01:02 Israeli forces expanded their ground operation in Khan Younis, taking control of the heart

01:15 On Thursday, Israeli shells hit a UN relief and works agency for Palestinian refugees
01:21 training center that caused a fire and killed at least 13 displaced people.

01:42 He took refugee in the UN facility, hoping for safety for his remaining children.
01:47 I took refuge in the United Nations headquarters west of the Khan Younis city to protect my
01:56 children who remained with me.
01:58 As you know, a few days ago, the Israeli tanks invaded and bombardment began on the center
02:04 in which we were taking shelter.
02:06 We lived through extremely horrific times of fear and terror because the shooting was
02:11 targeting everyone indiscriminately.
02:17 This Palestinian child, Reem Abou-Namous, has also gone through a lot, from the loss
02:22 of her family to displacement.
02:24 She now suffers from psychological disorders.
02:32 My mother and three brothers were martyred and seven other members of my relatives who
