“Death haunts us every second”: Palestinian-Canadian waits with family as Gaza evacuations suspended
A Palestinian-Canadian waited with her daughter at Gaza’s Rafah border on Sunday to cross to Egypt but couldn’t, after evacuations were suspended. Seham al-Batnejy said she’s been going back and forth for five days to the Rafah border crossing, trying to gain safety in Egypt.
“My daughter and I have Canadian citizenship, we’ve been struggling for five days going back and forth to the Rafah border crossing. I swear to God, I come amid the strikes above our heads, we walk scared, death haunts us every second. We wish that all the countries would support us, we’re humans after all, feel for us. We’re struggling so much. No water, no electricity, no food,” al-Batnejy said.
Evacuations of injured Gazans and foreign passport holders through the Rafah crossing to Egypt have been suspended since Saturday, according to two Egyptian security sources and a medical source, after an Israeli strike on Friday on an ambulance in Gaza being used to transport injured people.
There is currently no movement for over 400 Canadians still stuck in Gaza — 30 per cent of whom are children — after Friday's report they might be able to leave as early as Sunday. Canada's ambassador to Egypt Louis Dumas says Canadians will likely have to wait a few more days before being allowed to exit through the Rafah border crossing into Egypt.
