A woman named Lina Hamad said that she was displaced to Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip, on the afternoon of October 7th. Because she was about to give birth.
She confirmed to Tel Aviv Tribune that she was alone when she gave birth to her twin children, and that she left the hospital immediately after giving birth to make room for others, even though her health condition did not help her do this.
Lina lives in a shelter school, among three families consisting of 25 individuals, and she said that she cannot find healthy food that would help her breastfeed her twins.
She added, “We live on canned goods given to us by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Refugees (UNRWA), and we are forced to sell them in order to buy a carton of milk for the children.”
She said that they eat one meal during the day, and that she fears for her children from cold, disease, missiles, and phosphorus bombs that Israel drops meters away from the school in which they live.
