Al Jazeera
From sadness to despair, anger to resignation, Sinwar’s death has shaken the people in Gaza.
Deir el-Balah, Gaza, Palestine – The killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar has come as a shock to the displaced people in Gaza, who have endured a devastating war for more than a year.
Some wonder if Sinwar’s death signals the end of the war and a ceasefire. Others hold out little hope.
In the makeshift displacement camps of Deir el-Balah in central Gaza, those deeply affected by the war spoke to Al Jazeera.
Rahma al-Sakani, 35, a mother of two girls displaced from Shujayea, a Gaza City suburb, was saddened and shocked at the news.
“I felt like we’ve been abandoned in the middle of this war,” she said as she fed her two daughters a meagre meal in a displacement camp.
