11:56 11:58 that just got out of Gaza is sharing
11:58 12:01 their story of being trapped for 27 days
12:01 12:03 here's Antonia
12:03 12:06 Hilton for a Waffa and one-year-old
12:06 12:08 Yousef this is their very first time
12:08 12:11 outside playing in the grass trying out
12:11 12:13 the swing at home in Massachusetts in
12:13 12:16 over a month just days ago they were one
12:16 12:18 of the palestinian-american families
12:18 12:21 pleading to go through the Rafa Crossing
12:21 12:26 and flee Gaza our biggest um hope was
12:26 12:28 that hey this is a nightmare that we
12:28 12:30 wake up from they were visiting family
12:30 12:32 in Northern Gaza when they awoke on
12:32 12:35 October 7th to the unmistakable sounds
12:35 12:38 of War air strikes intensify at night as
12:38 12:40 soon as the sun sets I think that's when
12:40 12:43 everybody knows that
12:43 12:46 um time to start praying for the night
12:46 12:49 to pass through and then uh be alive in
12:49 12:51 the morning how does that affect you as
12:51 12:54 a parent when you're number one hope in
12:54 12:56 the world is to keep your child safe
12:56 12:58 wondering if you're going to be able to
12:58 13:01 do that to be honest when we were there
13:01 13:04 um it was one question I used to pray
13:04 13:09 like every moment for god um please not
13:09 13:11 take one of us three of us yeah it made
13:11 13:13 us feel helpless I think Yousef could
13:13 13:15 end up being on the news like the many
13:15 13:18 other innocent children that have died
13:18 13:21 um and and and that was heartbreaking
13:21 13:23 for us Waffa and a cat named milka would
13:23 13:26 entertain Yousef as AB waited in hours
13:26 13:29 long lines for food and off in dirty
13:29 13:32 water by the time you get to the line
13:32 13:34 you don't even want to eat bread anymore
13:34 13:36 the amount of DEH humilation that you've
13:36 13:38 seen standing in lines for something as
13:38 13:40 basic as
13:40 13:44 bread um it eats away at you after being
13:44 13:46 turned away repeatedly at the Egyptian
13:46 13:50 border on November 2nd finally they
13:50 13:52 received permission to cross but safety
13:52 13:54 for their son meant leaving their
13:54 13:56 parents and siblings in uncertainty
13:56 13:59 knowing that bad news could come at any
13:59 14:02 moment um makes it hard to stop to start
14:02 14:06 feeling normal even if not physically uh
14:06 14:08 we're very much still in it making it
14:08 14:10 almost impossible to find peace even

11:56 11:58 that just got out of Gaza is sharing
11:58 12:01 their story of being trapped for 27 days
12:01 12:03 here's Antonia
12:03 12:06 Hilton for a Waffa and one-year-old
12:06 12:08 Yousef this is their very first time
12:08 12:11 outside playing in the grass trying out
12:11 12:13 the swing at home in Massachusetts in
12:13 12:16 over a month just days ago they were one
12:16 12:18 of the palestinian-american families
12:18 12:21 pleading to go through the Rafa Crossing
12:21 12:26 and flee Gaza our biggest um hope was
12:26 12:28 that hey this is a nightmare that we
12:28 12:30 wake up from they were visiting family
12:30 12:32 in Northern Gaza when they awoke on
12:32 12:35 October 7th to the unmistakable sounds
12:35 12:38 of War air strikes intensify at night as
12:38 12:40 soon as the sun sets I think that's when
12:40 12:43 everybody knows that
12:43 12:46 um time to start praying for the night
12:46 12:49 to pass through and then uh be alive in
12:49 12:51 the morning how does that affect you as
12:51 12:54 a parent when you're number one hope in
12:54 12:56 the world is to keep your child safe
12:56 12:58 wondering if you're going to be able to
12:58 13:01 do that to be honest when we were there
13:01 13:04 um it was one question I used to pray
13:04 13:09 like every moment for god um please not
13:09 13:11 take one of us three of us yeah it made
13:11 13:13 us feel helpless I think Yousef could
13:13 13:15 end up being on the news like the many
13:15 13:18 other innocent children that have died
13:18 13:21 um and and and that was heartbreaking
13:21 13:23 for us Waffa and a cat named milka would
13:23 13:26 entertain Yousef as AB waited in hours
13:26 13:29 long lines for food and off in dirty
13:29 13:32 water by the time you get to the line
13:32 13:34 you don't even want to eat bread anymore
13:34 13:36 the amount of DEH humilation that you've
13:36 13:38 seen standing in lines for something as
13:38 13:40 basic as
13:40 13:44 bread um it eats away at you after being
13:44 13:46 turned away repeatedly at the Egyptian
13:46 13:50 border on November 2nd finally they
13:50 13:52 received permission to cross but safety
13:52 13:54 for their son meant leaving their
13:54 13:56 parents and siblings in uncertainty
13:56 13:59 knowing that bad news could come at any
13:59 14:02 moment um makes it hard to stop to start
14:02 14:06 feeling normal even if not physically uh
14:06 14:08 we're very much still in it making it
14:08 14:10 almost impossible to find peace even
