"Married just a year before the war, Raheel had once dreamed of starting a family. But she grew to find solace in being childless amid such chaos. 'I thank God every day that I don’t have a baby to worry about in these conditions. The fear would be unbearable,' she shared.
In June, she learned that her brother-in-law was killed during a military operation in Shujayea in Gaza City. 'For the first time, I wished I had stayed in Gaza City to support my husband,' Raheel said. 'I feel helpless being so far away. Will I ever see Abed? I doubt it.'"
