Since the first days of the Israeli war of genocide on Gaza, citizen Abeer Al-Bayram has not heard anything about her sister Nahla, who is two years older than her. Since then, she has been plagued by fears and questions about her sister’s fate. Abeer expresses her concern for her sister, who suffers from multiple illnesses and has no children.
Abeer tells our correspondent that her sister Nahla lives in Al-Sudaniyam area northwest of Gaza City and is married to a man from the Ghorab family.
According to Abeer, Nahla refused to leave her home in compliance with the orders of the occupation army. However, with the intensity of the Israeli shelling, she was forced to push her husband in his wheelchair and flee to Al-Shifa Medical Hospital. Later, when the occupation forces stormed the hospital for the first time, Nahla left with her husband in search of a safer place, and news circulated about his death, as he suffers from many illnesses.
Abeer confirms that this is all she knows, and she indicated that she tried to contact Nahla through her neighbors, but to no avail, as communications were cut off at that time.
She states that she has contacted human rights organizations to search for her in the occupation’s prisons, and the result was that there is no record of her there, according to the occupation’s claims. Abeer appealed to all concerned parties to intervene to reveal the fate of her sister Nahla, confirming that she is “a poor soul.”
From the Jordanian capital, Amman, her sister Amal told our correspondent that she has contacted the relevant institutions and has published appeals in hopes of obtaining information that would help locate her. She confirms that she cannot sleep at night, her mind troubled about her sister, especially since the blockade in Gaza has devastated people, plunging them into hunger and illness.
She states, “We and her sisters have the right to know her fate; the uncertainty is very difficult.”
According to human rights and governmental reports from Gaza, 11,000 Palestinians are considered missing in the Gaza Strip after the intense bombardments, repeated incursions, and waves of displacement. The Israeli occupation army, supported by the United States and Europe, has continued its aggression against Gaza for 465 consecutive days, with its planes bombing the surroundings of hospitals, buildings, towers, and Palestinian civilian homes, destroying them over the heads of their residents while blocking the entry of water, food, medicine, and fuel.
The aggression has resulted in more than 156,200 Palestinian martyrs and wounded, most of whom are children and women, as well as over 11,000 missing persons, amidst massive destruction and famine that have killed dozens of children and the elderly, marking one of the worst humanitarian disasters in the world.
