Temporary Forever A Gaza personal story of fear and hope
Jawad Harb of CARE in Gaza recalls a 28th week day in 2008 when rockets hit near his home. He and his six children sheltered in darkness as airstrikes shook the house and neighbors cried in fear. His 12 year old son asked if they would ever live in peace, a moment that underscores the human cost of the conflict. CARE notes ongoing relief work in Gaza and calls for immediate humanitarian access and an end to fighting.
