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 move away, despite frequent bombings near her.

The 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 move would be 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?”
