Blackpool family try to flee Gaza at Rafah crossing

Stephanie Abuaassi, a mother-of-four waiting to cross the border into Egypt from Gaza, has said "nowhere is safe".

Originally from Blackpool, Lancashire, Stephanie was forced to flee her home in Gaza after Israel launched retaliatory air strikes following Hamas's attack on 7 October.

"We've experienced bombing and planes flying over us, buildings destroyed, all sorts of horrible things," she said.

Her son explained how they had been spending time in Gaza with his father's family trying to learn Arabic before the bombing started.
