Fatima al-Zahra Sahweil, displaced 19 times, refused to move again

Fatima al-Zahra Sahwell, a 40-year-old mother of four children sheltering in Gaza City, says she won’t obey Israeli orders to leave, despite frequent bombings near her.

The designated escape route is jammed, she doesn’t have the money to buy a tent, and she doesn’t believe the areas where Israel wants her to go are safer than where she is. “There is not a single day without bombings and deaths in the south, even in the so-called humanitarian zones that the army declared. So, would I just be running from death to death?”

Sahwell said she has already moved her family 19 times since the war began.
