She travelled to Khan Younis from the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza. The Khan Younis vegetable market is still open but prices have doubled. Though Khan Younis is south of Israel’s “evacuation line,” it has not escaped daily raids by Israeli warplanes or missiles. A total of 1,300 people have been killed in the Khan Younis area since October 7, local health officials say. Nasser Hospital, the main hospital in Khan Younis and the biggest in southern Gaza, uses the same term on its Facebook page where it lists the daily “martyrs” in this war.

[1/5] Suzan Beseiso, a Palestinian holding a U.S. passport, waits for permission to leave Gaza, amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestinian Islamist group Hamas, at the Rafah border crossing with Egypt, in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, November 2, 2023. Since then a trickle of relief has been trucked into Gaza and some evacuees have left, though the arrangement is fragile and was suspended on Saturday before resuming on Monday. When the family left their house in Gaza her grandmother started shouting that she didn't want to go, and Beseiso had to plead with her. Born in Gaza but also holding U.S. citizenship, she acquired some land next to her house in 2005 where she grew olive, lemon and palm trees. "I hope people go to my house and take the dates and olives, so they don't go to waste."
