Update on SIL in Gaza

[allousa 1]

Thought I would give you all an update on his sister. Hicham was able to talk to her this afternoon, briefly. The tanks have reached the village where she is at. Fortunately, she is a couple of blocks from the main road where they are coming through. She thinks they are heading towards Khaun Younis (sp?). Everyone is staying inside to stay out of the line of fire from the tanks, but then they are very frightened of the house being hit and falling on them.

PLEASE continue to pray for her safety. Hicham has told her how many of us are thinking of her and praying for her safety.

Hicham thinks that what the IDF is trying to do is to split Gaza into 3 parts.

I'm horrified that they hit the UN School. I just don't even have the words to communicate how sickened I am by all of this.

Hicham and I had a very deep conversation about this last night. He said he felt so helpless and wished that he could be there to do something. As much as I love his family, know their history and the history of Palestine, I will NEVER, NEVER understand how they feel inside. Hicham said you can't imagine what it is like to be a refugee all of your life and to never have a country you can call your own. Neither can we understand what it's like being a prisoner in one of these refugee camps either.

I am defeated that the world allows any of this horror to happen. Not just in Gaza, but in Sudan, the Congo and all of the places of the world.

It's just not acceptable to me.

my heart goes out to your family. of course my husband and i will pray for all!

Hicham thinks that what the IDF is trying to do is to split Gaza into 3 parts.

tactically thinking, that makes very little sense.

omg that sounds so terribly scary. I wish they'd pull their heads outta their pockets and just chill out. Why can't they come to some agreement?? it's awful and my prayers are extended to all in harms way.

Allousa, I will add your family to my prayers. My husband has many family members there in Palestine and we are very worried about them. I will pray that they will be safe and that there will be a peaceful solution soon for them.
