Gazans move into damaged houses to escape unbearable heat

Primary source Internal intake · 1 reviewed intake signal · Desk window 18:01

TL;DR

Displaced families in Gaza City's Sheikh Radwan neighborhood are leaving sweltering tents for damaged buildings, citing extreme summer heat. Residents say the conditions are unbearable and that they face risk of collapse but have no alternative. The report is single-source and unverified by independent observers.

01 · THE DISPATCH

Displaced residents of Gaza City's Sheikh Radwan neighborhood are moving from tents into damaged houses, according to accounts collected by The Zioneer from the area. Resident Ali Juma, 55, said: "The tent is like a fire and unbearable, so we had to live here instead of in the sun." Another resident, Ayman Bakheet, noted the house is "at risk of collapse" but said they had no other decent living option. Juma appealed to the world: "We are peaceful civilians and we do not carry weapons." The report is based on a single unverified source and has not been corroborated by independent observers. The Zioneer previously reported severe heat conditions in Gaza on June 5, though that report also came from a single channel and could not be independently confirmed.
