'It's nothing but humiliation': Palestinian describes grim journey to southern Gaza

A Palestinian man fleeing from northern to southern Gaza described the grim situation to Middle East Eye on Sunday. 

From Salah al-Din street, the major highway in the enclave, he said:

"I left the Wafa hospital in Gaza City yesterday, and I'm walking south to Khan Younis, where my whole family is currently sheltering, including my wife, kids, parents and siblings.

Some of the wounded are still in the hospital, while we evacuated the ones we could. Some were taken to their homes, others to schools. We also carried a number of dead bodies, some on stretchers and some on people's shoulders because a cart that was carrying them broke down. It was chaos.

We were being humiliated - we had no water, no food, no electricity.

Last night was the worst night of my life. The sound of bombing was intense and terrifying. As you see now on the road, it's nothing but humiliation.

I will go to a school in Khan Younis where half of my family is sheltering."
