Reem: "We were evacuated from our homes in Tal El Hawa, Gaza City. We left everything behind and had to walk to Al Quds (Red Crescent) hospital escorted by the ICRC staff. We could not take anything with us we even forgot our identification cards, we just walked out of our building with our hands up, surrounded by tanks and snipers. We are staying at the basement of the hospital. Even the hospital is surrounded by tanks and is being bombarded."
