Jenin residents left stunned by scale of destruction

Residents of the Jenin refugee camp were left stunned by the sheer extent of the destruction left in the wake of Israel's raid.

Muhammad Abu Talal, a resident of the camp, told Middle East Eye that Israeli bulldozers levelled most of the streets surrounding the camp from the moment they first stormed it on Monday morning.

“Most of our homes were cut off from electricity at the beginning of the invasion, and we saw many water pipes exploded from under the streets, which were bulldozed and destroyed,” he said.

Yasmine Hantoly, a journalist from Jenin, said that the structure of the camp was already weak due to the density of the population. 

"The soldiers invade everything, climb into buildings and storm homes, taking them as military barracks and terrorising children and women without consideration," she told MEE.
