Fresh Israeli strikes on Gaza follow earlier 'safe zone' attack

Displaced Palestinians remain at a loss as to where they should go next to survive

- 

Israel struck the southern and central Gaza Strip on July 15 to put more pressure on Hamas following a weekend strike targeting the militant group's leadership, which killed scores of Palestinians camped in a designated "safe zone".

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 - it was like nothing I have seen in my life," said Ms Aya Mohammad, 30, a market seller in Mawasi, reached by mobile text message.

"Where to go is what everybody asks, and no one has the answer." Mawasi, on the western outskirts of Khan Younis, has been sheltering hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who fled to the area after Israel declared it a safe zone.
