My mother’s shattered dream of family reunion in Gaza

Al Jazeera  

My mother passed away in December 2023 with a broken heart. “Oh, high moon, relay my greetings to dear brother Salah!” my beloved mother, Shukria, used to say. When seeing the moon in the sky, I sometimes chanted, “Oh, high moon, relay my greetings to dear Uncle Salah!” Overjoyed to hear me chanting her words, my mother used to embrace me tightly. It was obvious my mother’s mind was occupied by Uncle Salah and his family in the diaspora, hoping for their return to Palestine. In our efforts to fulfil my mother’s deepest wish, we submitted several requests for Uncle Salah and his family to visit Palestine, to the Israeli occupation authority and to the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.
