The Occupation Killed My Grandchildren and Dispersed My Family

Yusra Salem Abu Awad

My name is Yusra Salem Abu Awad, and I am 63 years old. The occupation took the lives of three of my grandchildren who fled to Al Shati Camp, denying me the chance to bid them farewell. They were buried in mass graves in Gaza City.

The American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) is a Quaker organization that includes people of various faiths who are committed to social justice, peace, and humanitarian service.
