'They are chasing us everywhere'

As Israel resumed its heavy bombardment of Gaza on Friday afternoon, more homes were destroyed and more people were made homeless. 

“My house was bombed… many of the homes have eight or so people in them,” Abdelkader Taha, whose house in Khan Younis was levelled, told Middle East Eye.

“The building had two apartments upstairs and two on the ground floor. This is the third time we have been displaced because of Israeli shelling,” he added.

At least 28 housing units have been destroyed since the start of the Israeli offensive on Tuesday. 

Taha’s family home was damaged in the Israeli offensive in Gaza in 2014, forcing them to rebuild their lives from scratch.

“They are chasing us everywhere,” he said, while waiting in the streets for the bombardment to stop.
