Saja Bawaqneh and her family have been trapped in their kitchen since the Israeli assault began in Jenin refugee camp on August 27. With no water or power, they ration what they have and worry about impending danger.
The Israeli army has launched attacks in several West Bank areas, causing casualties and damage to homes like the Bawaqneh’s. They fear for their lives as gunshots echo outside and the situation intensifies.
As the family huddles in the kitchen, children cry and adults try to maintain a sense of normalcy. With limited resources and constant fear, they navigate the chaos, hoping for safety and relief.
Through the night, anxiety rises, news of deaths spreads, and the children long to leave. Despite the challenges, the family strives to keep spirits up with simple meals and distractions.
As the night wears on, uncertainty looms, and the threat of further assaults hangs heavy. The family clings to each other, bracing for whatever may come next in this harrowing ordeal.
