Palestinians Living in Shacks Because of Israeli Bombs

Published January 12th, 2020 - 07:45 GMT

Families whose house was destroyed by an Israeli airstrike last November now live in shacks. 

They only had seven minutes to run away from the houses, and then they were watching Israeli aircraft destroying everything with bombs.

Around 20 people have become homeless, without money to rebuild the house. Winter makes it difficult for families to survive

The Israeli occupation is criminal. It doesn't abide by any laws and doesn't differentiate between a civilian and a militant.
