"We honestly don't understand anything any more, Hiba told Al Jazeera days later, as she pulled up a chair and sat atop the mound of sand where her family's tent was pitched."
"I lost my entire family: my father, my mother, all my siblings. My husband, who is also my cousin, lost his entire family too, she said, tears filling her eyes as Mohammad sat beside her in silence, his own eyes red."
"Hiba says she was sorting through her scattered belongings beside her tent when she heard explosions in the distance, and wondered whether the war had returned."
Hiba and Mohammad al-Yazji have endured massive loss and repeated displacement during Israel's war on Gaza. Dozens of their family members were killed in Israeli attacks and their four-storey family home in Sheikh Radwan was destroyed on December 3, 2023. The couple returned to northern Gaza after a ceasefire but faced renewed explosions that threatened to collapse the deal and force further movement. The family lives in a tent with their 10-year-old daughter, Iman, coping with trauma, grief, and profound uncertainty about safety, shelter, and any long-term future.
