Palestinians fear 'no place is safe' in Gaza

Rafah, Gaza Strip - Khader Khader had less than one minute to evacuate his home.
At 7am on Friday, the 55-year-old was sleeping under the staircase with his five children, when he heard his neighbour scream, "Dr Khader, evacuate! They are going to bomb my house!"
At that moment, Khader's seven-year-old son, Mohammed, tucked his tiny fingers into his father’s trousers and froze, unable to move. Quickly getting everyone out of bed, the family ran out of the yellow villa - which Khader spent years saving money to build and only moved into two years ago - just as the first Israeli missile, a warning shot, screeched by.

"We ran anywhere we could, away from the house so as not to get hurt or killed," Khader recalled, his voice shaking.
They crammed into the car and reached the top of the street before the second missile, fired from an Israeli F-16, hit the neighbourhood. Khader's home was not the target, but his neighbour's house was. "My children are traumatised from the bombing - what did they do to deserve this?" Khader, a respected university professor of linguistics, said.

His children, aged between seven and 16, have yet to return to see the damage. "The trauma is so immense, that they fear coming back to their home, where we escaped by a miracle," he told Al Jazeera.
