Younger Gazans Dream of Leaving
(Sunday Times-UK) Amal Helles - Nadine Abdullatif, 14, a blogger who has 127,000 followers on Instagram, joined half a million people in late January who made the journey back to Gaza City. Some were quick to turn back around, finding nothing waiting for them. She said, "The streets I once knew are gone, replaced by rubble. My neighborhood is barely recognizable, houses turned to dust, families are struggling just to survive another day. We wake up, search for water, food, and a way to stay warm. People are exhausted. Everyone is focused on their own survival....Everyone in the streets is talking about Trump's statements." "Some say they will never leave....But others, especially the younger generation, feel differently. They dream of leaving - not because they don't love their land, but because they don't see a future here anymore. I am torn. If I had the chance to leave, I probably would."
