Forced Evacuations in Gaza: Can a Bag Fit Life’s Memories?
The act of evacuating one’s home is extremely emotional. Palestinians have a few minutes to pick up their belongings, important documents, food, water, and to decide where to go. Family memories cannot be carried in a handbag or suitcase. Photo albums and similar personal items must be left behind.
Caring for Two Orphaned Children of Gaza
My name is Aisha Osama Abu Ajwa, I am 30 years old. I am from Al-Zaytoun neighborhood. Before the war, I could barely provide for their needs to secure a decent life for my 4 children. Now, the crimes of the occupation added two orphaned children for me to care for and nurture after the occupation killed their parents. I am now a mother of 6 children.
I Lost My Son, My Support in This Life
My name is Fidaa Fathi Abu Yousef. I am 40 years old and live in Al-Nuseirat Camp. The occupation killed my young son Odai. My dream is to continue Odai's journey, providing my children a good life, education, a home, stable job. I hope war ends soon. Eight months of continuous killing exhausts us.

My name is Rehab Musa Al-Jamal, 54 years old, from the village of Aqir occupied in 1948. I live in Al-Nusairat Camp. Today, I live displaced with my relatives after losing my house and my eldest brother in an Israeli airstrike on our home.
The Occupation Killed My Grandchildren and Dispersed My Family
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.
I Lost My Beautiful Father at 12 Years Old
My name is Youssef Qawash, I am 12 years old. The occupation left me and my younger siblings without a father, without a home, and without means to support ourselves. We pray for an end to this war, and for the occupation to be held accountable for its crimes against Palestinians in Gaza.
3 Days Without Food or Water
I am a Palestinian woman, 80 years old, born before the Nakba in 1948. I was 4 years old when Palestine was occupied. I live with my deaf children and 27 grandchildren in my house on the eastern border separating us from our occupied lands. My family has been in danger all our lives because of our proximity to the border, but I consider this place my life and I feel a strong connection to it. Our demand is the liberation of our homeland and our return to our homes destroyed by the occupation during this oppressive war.
