CAIRO/GAZA ¨C Israel struck the southern and central Gaza Strip on Monday to put more pressure on Hamas, following a weekend strike targeting the militant group¡¯s leadership that killed scores of Palestinians who had sought shelter in a makeshift camp.
Two days after the Israeli strike turned a crowded swathe of Mawasi near the Mediterranean coast into a charred wasteland littered with burning cars and mangled bodies, displaced survivors said they had no idea where they should go next.
¡°Those moments as the ground shook underneath my feet and the dust and sand rose to the sky and I saw dismembered bodies ¡ª was like nothing I have seen in my life,¡± said Aya Mohammad, 30, a market seller in Mawasi, said via a text message. ¡°Where to go is what everybody asks, and no one has the answer.¡±
