Thousands of displaced Palestinians in northern Gaza have sought refuge in Yarmouk Sports Stadium, one of the largest soccer arenas in the city. Families now scrape by with little food or water as they try to keep one step ahead of Israel’s latest offensive.
With their makeshift tents hugging the shade below the stadium’s seating, their clothes hang in the July sun across the dusty, dried-up soccer field. Under the covered benches where players used to sit, Um Bashar, a displaced woman, bathes a toddler standing in a plastic tub while expressing the problems faced during their constant change of shelters. “We woke up and found tanks in front of the door,” she says. “We didn’t take anything with us, not a mattress, not a pillow, not any clothes, not a thing. Not even food.”
