A Holocaust survivor sees no end to the suffering for children in Gaza,even when they return to their homes under a ceasefire agreement.
Agnes Kory,81,survived Nazi rule as a baby but was ‘haunted’ by the death and persecution endured by her family.
The Budapest-born activist fears Gazans face a post-conflict life far worse than that,as the withdrawal of Israeli forces in major cities leaves behind wrecked buildings and rubble.
Agnes told Metro: ‘After I survived,nobody was trying to bomb me and kill me anymore.

‘There was an end to the atrocities,but I don’t see any end for the Palestinian children.
‘I am not convinced that these people in Gaza will not continue to be under threat of being killed and hurt.
‘The Israeli government does not want a Palestinian state,I don’t believe that there is any peace coming to the Palestinians.’
The ceasefire agreement has seen all 20 living hostages released by Hamas,with more than 1,900 Palestinian prisoners and detainees in Israeli detention.
Israeli forces have pulled back to an agreed position within the Gaza Strip,but still occupy half of the territory.
The future of Gaza remains uncertain,with the enclave due to be temporarily governed by a ‘Board of Peace’ headed by Tony Blair.

Agnes,who was born during Nazi rule in Hungary,fears Gazans will not be allowed to live a ‘proper life’ even after Israel’s withdrawal.
She said: ‘Once the Holocaust was over I had equal rights with everybody else.
‘The Palestinians,including the Palestinian children,they still don’t have equal rights like with Jewish citizens of Israel.
‘The ceasefire is just a con. Mr Trump was keen to get his Nobel Prize.
‘They’re not even getting the whole of Gaza back. So the big concentration camp where they once lived,now it’s going to be a smaller concentration camp.
‘Netanyahu did announce that if the Palestinians don’t behave,then the ceasefire will stop,so the Israelis are still the rulers.’
Agnes was born under a false name in Hungary’s capital Budapest in December 1944,nine months after the country was invaded by Nazi Germany.
