“We have been under occupation which include killings and assassinations. They took everything: our identity, passport, and freedom. We lost everything. For example, I live in Gaza. Israel controls everywhere including the border. I can’t go anywhere. They control land and air. We could not export or import. We live in a very hard situation.

“On the side of Egypt, they put checkpoints and restrictions. In Gaza we are suffering from starvation. Many people died of starvation. There are calls by the United Nations and some organizations asking Israel to allow for movements.”
