Desperate for shelter, Gazans move to former prison

GAZA: After weeks of Israeli bombardment with nowhere to go, hundreds of Palestinians have ended up in a former prison in Gaza built for murderers and thieves. Yasmeen Al-Dardasi said she and her family passed injured people they were unable to help as they were evacuated from a neighborhood in the southern city of Khan Younis towards the Central Correctional and Rehabilitation Facility. They spent the day under a tree before moving to a former prison where they now live in a prayer room. It offers protection from the harsh sun, but not much else.
