"The army entered upon us, bombing, killing and (there were) martyrs. And as you can see I am a sick man, old and sick. And with difficulty, we were able to get out, without tents or anything or water. As you can see, our gallons of water, and as you can see our children, look at these children. We got out with difficulty, we got out of the house with difficulty, killing and death. We did not take anything. There are injured and martyrs, but the ambulance is unable to reach that area at all."

STORYLINE:
Israeli strikes across the Gaza Strip on Friday killed at least 64 people, hospitals said, as U.S. President Donald Trump wraps up his Middle East visit that skipped Israel and offered no prospect for a ceasefire in the war-battered territory.
The Israeli military had no immediate comment on the strikes, which lasted hours into Friday morning and sent people fleeing from the Jabaliya refugee camp and the town of Beit Lahiya.
They followed days of similar attacks that killed more than 130 people, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.
After the strikes, dark smoke was seen rising over Jabaliya as people grabbed what they could of their belongings and fled on donkey carts, by car and foot.
“The army entered upon us, bombing, killing…We got out with difficulty, we got out of the house with difficulty, killing and death. We did not take anything,” said Feisal Al-Attar, who was displaced from Beit Lahiya.
At least 48 bodies were brought to the Indonesian Hospital and another 16 bodies were taken to Nasser Hospital, health officials said, as strikes overnight into Friday morning hit the outskirts of Deir al-Balah and the city of Khan Younis.
There had been widespread hope that Trump’s regional trip could usher in a ceasefire deal or renewal of humanitarian aid to Gaza.
An Israeli blockade of the territory is now in its third month.
