'Have mercy on us': Displaced Palestinians long for safe place to settle | ANC

On The Scene: Palestinians in Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip were seen leaving the area on Sunday (May 12) amid Israeli orders for people to evacuate. Early on Sunday (May 12), Israel sent tanks into eastern Jabalia, after a night of heavy aerial and ground bombardments, killing 19 people and wounding dozens of others, health officials said. Jabalia is the biggest of Gaza's eight historic refugee camps and is home to more than 100,000 people, most of whom were descendants of Palestinians who were driven from towns and villages in what is now Israel during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war that led to the creation the state of Israel. Late on Saturday (May 11), the Israeli military said forces operating in Jabalia are preventing Hamas, which controls Gaza, from re-establishing its military capabilities there.
