You Can Follow the story form1948, how a family return to Ethnic cleansing, into suffering, again by Jason Lofters
Mr. Abu Samra had spent his early childhood living off about 100 acres his father owned in the farming village of Iraq Suwaydan — about 15 miles north of the present-day Gaza border — harvesting grains and picking figs.
“The most important thing is the key to the house,” he recalled. “Everyone locked their door and took the key in the hopes that they would be gone only a short period.”
His daughter, Abeer Abu Samra, said she never fully understood the stories until Israeli bombs began falling near the family home in Gaza after the attack on Oct. 7, shaking the walls, followed by the Israeli orders to leave.
As life in Gaza became unbearable, some members of the Abu Samra family left the enclave entirely, paying more than $5,000 each to get to Egypt, having organized several GoFundMe campaigns to raise money.
Around him in the crowded encampment where he and his wife are now, people have grown thin and frail as hunger has grown more severe. In some parts of Gaza, conditions are so dire that international monitors have officially declared a famine. Mr. Abu Samra survives on money his family from abroad sends him.
