(SOUNDBITE) (Arabic) JABR ALI, DISPLACED PALESTINIAN, SAYING: [...] "Of course, our grandparents used to tell us about the Nakba of 1948. In 1948, the Nakba took place, and our families fled to Gaza. Now, some of us are here, living in Jabalia camp, Beit Lahia, and across the entire Gaza Strip. We are currently in Jabalia camp, experiencing the Nakba for the second time — a second displacement after 1948. "Our lives have never been free from war. What we and our grandparents have lived through is over 150 years of destruction — the Nakba that scattered us, demolished our homes, and killed our children and elders. We’ve lost everything. We no longer have a home or anything else. We rebuilt our lives starting from very simple tents on bare ground." [...] "We had no safety, no access to food, water, decent living, hospitals, healthcare, or even paved roads — nothing." [...] "The situation we are living in now — we have nothing. No proper housing, just tarps and tents. No concrete homes, no block walls, nothing at all. It's pure suffering — heat, cold, hardship. We have nothing here to support life." [...] "Back in 1948, when our grandparents were displaced, at least some aid reached them after a while — in the 1960s, 70s, and so on. Aid organizations like UNRWA started distributing supplies. But now, there's nothing — no aid at all. We're sleeping hungry every night. It's worse than before. The suffering is worse than it was in 1948." [...] "This is the neighborhood now. These are the tents you see here — all standing on the rubble of what was once homes and buildings. This is Al-Senaideh, which used to have three-story buildings that are now gone. The entire neighborhood was destroyed." [...] 4. PALESTINIAN MAN AMONG RUBBLE AND TENTS 5. VARIOUS OF TENTS WHERE DISPLACED PALESTINIANS STAY / DEVASTATED AREA IN JABALIA, GAZA 6. (SOUNDBITE) (Arabic) MAKRAM AL-MAKROUMI, DISPLACED PALESTINIAN, SAYING: [...] "All this time, we lived in Sabra, and now we’re back to tents — like we were 50 years ago. We are living exactly the same life we lived 50 years ago." [...] We used to have shelter, we used to have homes, we used to have food, we used to have a place to live, we used to have everything. Now, there's no food, no shelter, nothing. We live now with the rats and the fleas, all together. [...]JABALIA, GAZA, PALESTINE - MAY 15: Israel’s relentless and systematic military campaign in the Gaza Strip has devastated the Jabalia Refugee Camp, bringing it back to the dire conditions reminiscent of the 1948 Nakba, residents say. Once a sanctuary for Palestinians uprooted in 1948, Jabalia has now been largely reduced to rubble. Homes have been flattened, infrastructure has collapsed, and makeshift tents have taken the place of permanent structures, forcing residents into a struggle for basic survival. Speaking to Anadolu, residents described the camp as a place where time has stopped. With no electricity, clean water, or basic necessities, the situation has become even more desperate than during the original Nakba, they said. The aftermath of Israeli airstrikes has rendered large parts of the camp uninhabitable. The humanitarian crisis deepens daily, with families enduring hunger, displacement, and the absence of medical services amid a total blockade. The images emerging from Jabalia reflect not only the physical destruction but the emotional and generational pain of Palestinian refugees. Seventy-seven years after their initial displacement, residents of Jabalia are once again reliving the agony of loss and the fight to survive. Around 90% of Gaza’s 2.4 million population has been forcibly displaced by Israel’s ongoing war on the enclave. Since October 2023, the Israeli army has pursued a brutal offensive in Gaza, killing nearly 53,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children. The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants last November for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave. Reporting by Ramzi Mahmud // Writing by Mustafa Tuncer
