Watfa Mahmoud Al-Nashnash, 65, sits at the site of her former home in the Bureij Camp in central Gaza on June 24, 2024.
Watfa Al-Nashnash is one of thousands of Palestinians looking for their children or grandchildren in the rubble of Gaza. In a report published Monday, Save the Children estimated more than 20,000 children have disappeared, been detained, lost under the rubble or buried in mass graves since war broke out between Israel and Hamas.
"We came out from under the rubble … and they took us to the hospital," she recalled. "I look around … and I ask, 'Where are you my kids? Where are you?' "In its report, Save the Children analyzed data gathered by its own personnel as well as its partners on the ground, including the United Nations and UNICEF. The latterAl-Nashnash says she's returned to the site every day since Oct. 20, calling out to her missing loved ones.
In the nine months that Al-Nashnash has been looking for her family, the war between Israel and Hamas has destroyed Gaza's infrastructure and wiped out entire families. On Saturday, Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that the "intense" part of the war on Hamas would end as soon as Israel turns its focus to the northern border with Lebanon.The news isn't what organizations like Save the Children were hoping to hear.
Glenwright says Save the Children, which works to protect children in Gaza and reunite them with their families or next of kin, runs a field office in Al Mawasi on Gaza's southern coast and has multiple teams deployed in the strip.
