  • 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.

  • "Tell me one thing you liked to do with your brother?" I asked.<br />
<br />
She let her eyes wander, bit her lip and made as if to think. "I liked walking with him to school."<br />
<br />
Noor Samoni, sister of 8-year-old Zakaria Hamid Samoni, who was killed by a rocket fired from an Israeli helicopter operating in their neighborhood, laughed when she said this and hid behind her mother.<br />
<br />
"Who will you walk with now?"<br />
<br />
"I don't need to. Mama says that they killed the school as well."

  • "Sons are the light of their mother's eyes," she said," and my eyes have lost their light."<br />
<br />
She kept dialing a number in Egypt. Consoling relatives and neighbors who filled the front compound of her home kept handing her their mobiles in the hope that one of them would connect to the Egyptian hospital where Nabila Jadali's sons had been sent for treatment. <br />
<br />
She had already buried Mohamad Jadali. Her son had not survived the rain of shells that landed in her home. She had no time to mourn however. Two other sons were in an emergency room in Egypt, evacuated across the Rafah border, and she was unable to locate them. <br />
<br />
Abdil Hadi had been blinded in the same attack and Khalil had lost his legs. <br />
<br />
She had lost one son but had no time to think about that. She had two more she could possibly loose.
