And I always remember there was a beautiful day,
Beautifully sunny, no clouds in the sky.
And then you could see, as we approached Rafah from Egypt, you could see, as we approached the Egyptian part of Rafah, you could see this low-lying cloud over the whole of southern Gaza, which, of course, was smoke from the bombs.
And you could smell it from about two or three miles away.
You could smell the burning and it was awful.
It was awful.
So we got into Rafah.
We got through the sort of the Egyptian checkpoints, then the Ghazan checkpoints.
And we had to drive through Rafah
to get to the house we were, the safe house we were living in.
And this was... So this was, you know, two and a half months into it, by which time a lot of people had been displaced from northern Gaza and Gaza City.
The migration of displaced refugees from the north was like something I've never seen before.
As we were driving through Rafah and then up the coast road towards middle Gaza, where the hospital we were going to be working in, Deir el-Bala, it was...
It's impossible to put words to it.
The thousands of people walking down, most of them walking, some of them in horse and cart, some of them in vehicles, who'd been displaced and were moving down south to get away from all the trauma.
So that, to me, was a sight I will never forget, seeing these people.
And of course, at that time, this is very early on, Al-Mawassi, which will be an area you're familiar with, it's...
what the Israelis paradoxically were calling the safe area, that everyone was being evacuated to the safe area.
Yes, I remember.
You remember that.
