00:00:01:15 - 00:00:04:07
When the war started,
we were displaced

00:00:04:20 - 00:00:06:17
from one place to another,
until we ended up here

00:00:06:17 - 00:00:07:10
in this tent.

00:00:08:05 - 00:00:11:03
We were displaced
many times

00:00:11:05 - 00:00:12:24
maybe 10 or 11 times.
We kept moving.

00:00:13:04 - 00:00:15:10
The last few months
have been the hardest.

00:00:15:10 - 00:00:17:10
They were
extremely difficult,

00:00:17:10 - 00:00:19:22
especially when we were in Sheikh Radwan [hospital],

00:00:19:22 - 00:00:21:03
where we didn’t know
anyone.

00:00:22:12 - 00:00:27:05
In Beit Lahia,
most residents
lost everything.
Israeli airstrikes


00:00:22:12 - 00:00:27:05
reduced their homes
to rubble.

00:00:27:15 - 00:00:33:05
Sahar shares a tent
with four generations
of her family,

00:00:28:02 - 00:00:33:05
among the ruins
of their home
in Beit Lahia.

00:00:38:17 - 00:00:41:05
The first time we were
in the tent,

00:00:41:10 - 00:00:43:03
we were all sleeping
when we suddenly

00:00:43:03 - 00:00:44:15
felt water beneath us.

00:00:44:19 - 00:00:46:11
We jumped up, and by the time
we got up

00:00:46:11 - 00:00:48:09
and tried to move our things,
it had turned

00:00:48:09 - 00:00:49:13
into a swimming pool.

00:00:50:17 - 00:00:53:03
We struggle with
water and life in the tent

00:00:53:03 - 00:00:54:14
especially during
the winter.

00:00:54:21 - 00:00:56:21
We had no clothes.

00:00:56:22 - 00:00:58:17
It was hard for
my youngest son.

00:00:59:11 - 00:01:02:12
I had to dress him with
the same clothes,

00:01:02:19 - 00:01:04:21
I would undress him,
wash and hang the clothes up,

00:01:04:21 - 00:01:05:19
hoping they’d dry.

00:01:05:19 - 00:01:07:16
It was the hardest
months of our lives.

00:01:11:00 - 00:01:12:07
My house was brand new,

00:01:12:07 - 00:01:15:01
I had only lived in it for
seven months.

00:01:15:05 - 00:01:16:03
It was a proper home.

00:01:16:06 - 00:01:18:11
We didn’t build it
in a few months,

00:01:18:11 - 00:01:20:02
we worked on it
for years.

00:01:20:02 - 00:01:22:19
It took ten years
to complete.

00:01:24:03 - 00:01:26:17
Everything is difficult.

00:01:27:03 - 00:01:29:10
Even just fetching water,

00:01:29:18 - 00:01:31:09
men don’t respect you anymore.

00:01:31:18 - 00:01:35:17
It’s very possible someone might push you.

00:01:35:17 - 00:01:39:10
It’s not like before, when men used to respect women.

00:01:45:16 - 00:01:47:14
The source of strength
that keeps me going

00:01:47:14 - 00:01:48:11
is my children.

00:01:49:04 - 00:01:50:24
They’re the ones who
keep me alive.

00:01:50:24 - 00:01:52:09
Everything I do,
it’s all for them.

00:01:52:12 - 00:01:53:14
In the future,

00:01:53:14 - 00:01:54:21
I just wish for my
children to live

00:01:54:21 - 00:01:57:08
a better life than the one
they have now.

00:01:57:08 - 00:01:59:05
I don’t wish for anything more
than that.
