  • I found it impossible to take my eyes off Najwaen Rabi Ahmed Sultan's face. Not only because of her beauty, but also because of the strength that seemed to emanate from within her. <br />
<br />
She and her family had fled from their home as the Israeli tanks devastated Beit Lahiya and spent weeks moving between shelters set up in various local school buildings.  The indignities faced by her sisters and her mother left a deep impression on her. <br />
<br />
I come from a cultured, educated family she fumed - a family of traditions and history. But for weeks we suffered like animals, dependent on others and at the mercy of the whims and taunts of rude and callous aid agency staff. <br />
<br />
She held herself upright, looked me straight in the eyes It was too much to bear - to be able to do nothing, to watch my mother plead and beg for our food, blankets or a place to wash.. No child should ever have to see that.

  • I asked Issa Abdul Hadi el Batrans' brothers if I could meet with him. They shook their heads and looked away apologetically. "His world has become unbearable to him," his youngest brother said to me, "he is unable to face anyone or anything."<br />
<br />
His only remaining child, Abdil Hadi, sat in her uncle's lap and stared at me.<br />
<br />
16 days earlier, on January 16th 2009, Issa Abdul Hadi el Batran's wife Manal, his 13 year old daughter Islam, his 10 year old daughter Iman, his 8 year old daughter Ihsan, his 6 year old son Bilal and his 5 year old son Ezzedine were killed in a missile attack on their home. <br />
<br />
My interview had ended before it could begin. Abdil Hadi continued to stare at me. I asked to hold her and saw questions in her eyes.

  • She kept speaking about her son in the present tense. He is a happy child. He was so excited about school when he first starting going, and now simply loves to prepare his uniform each day. <br />
<br />
Her 8-year old son, Zakaria Hamid Samoni, was dead. He had been killed when a rocket fired from an Israeli military helicopter fell near where Zakaria was playing.<br />
<br />
But Rida Samoni seemed oddly at ease, smiling even, as she spoke about him. Her other children milled about the room, hiding behind her, staring at me and laughing. <br />
<br />
Perhaps it was not quite time to let Zakaria go.
