Leila and her family lived 470 metres from the Gaza-Israel border but fled the house after a May 2008 Israeli army invasion which shot up their home, killed thousands of their chickens, plowed up farmland and crops and terrified their children. She still returns during the day with Jaber, her husband, to work the land anew and cook over felled olive trees.
Leila and Jaber were rooftop one day, fixing a broken water tank (Israeli gunfire) when Israeli troops began firing suddenly on the house from the border 470 metres away. Running from their fire, Leila fell down the roof stairs and broke her leg.

  2. Thank you dear Eva for sharing your photos with the rest of the world. Without people like you, we’d all still be left standing in the dark. May God bless you and keep you safe.

  3. Thank you for sharing. I’ve so often wondered what the people do after their homes have been destroyed. I pray that Justice will soon be rendered. These women are beautiful people. I hope you continue to share your photos and we can keep them in our hearts and pray for them.

  4. Thank you so much for being on the ground and spreading the TRUTHS and INJUSTICE to our fellow human beings. We would have NO idea if it wasn’t for brave and compassionate souls like you.

  5. More & More of USA people are getting More & more upset with the USA Government, the Palestine do have the Right of their Land !! God Bless the Palestine struggles !!!

  6. My heart bleeds for the Palestinian people. No one should be subjected to the harsh conditions they live in. Unfortunately because of some few bad people (HAMAS) the rest of them have to suffer. I disagree with many of the policies mandated against them by the Israeli government and others like them. I am a Westerner and a CHRISTIAN. I was fortunate to be born in the United States of America. God has commanded us to Love one another for God is Love.
