In Gaza, the death toll from Israel's 90-day bombardment has topped 22,600, with another 7,000 people reported missing and presumed dead. As the IDF intensifies its attacks on refugee camps in central and south Gaza — areas deemed by Israel to be safe zones — we speak with Mohammed Ghalayini, an air quality scientist and co-founder of Amplify Gaza Stories, who made the "impossible choice" to flee from Gaza to Britain, where he has dual citizenship. "It was really hard to imagine things getting any worse on any particular day, but they did keep getting worse," says Ghalayini. "I'm fearful for everyone I know that's in Gaza, from either meeting an explosive death or a death by trigger-happy genocidal soldiers who are like drunk, obviously, on the power that they are wielding."
