Wives Of Gaza Wounded ..... Suffering And Steadfastness

Wives Of Gaza Wounded ..... Suffering And Steadfastness

Palestinian women are a symbol of patience, steadfastness and strength, which is absent in the Arab and European world. Palestinian women are sacrificing themselves for their home. They have lost their son, their brother and their husband, and they are still patient and steadfast in their suffering and pain.

Tha Israeli war, launched on Gaza in December 2008, could not cause frustration and collapse in the hearts of Gaza wounded and their families, rather it endowed them with backbone, determination and strength to meet the challenge to achieve their ambitions and goals, despite the weaknesses left in the wake of the brutal war on the Gaza Strip.

5450 Palestinians were wounded during the barbaric Israeli attack on the Gaza Strip, launched on Saturday, December 27, 2008 at 11:30 am.

Nour Arabia, 17, said that she was very sad about what happened to her husband Reyad Arabia, 23, whose leg was amputated, especially as they'd only been married four months before the brutal war on the Gaza Strip.

"I was not shocked when I heard what had happened to my husband because of the sense of confidence that stems from the decree of Allaah, we are all at risk of death or injury at any time whatsoever." Nour said.

Nour, a devoted wife, is proving to her husband that she loves him and she is willing to stay with him throughout his life, and that what happened does not affect their life together.

"It is impossible to leave my beloved husband, and I will share in his life forever." Nour concluded her speech with these grievous words.

Umm Muhammad,21, narrated the suffering of her wounded husband Ibrahim Mohamed Saleh,28, who was also injured during the Israeli war on Gaza. "My husband suffered from lack of medicines and bad medical care when he was transferred to Egypt to receive treatment there.

" I was really shocked when I knew that my husband was wounded during the Israeli aggression because is the only breadwinner for my sons," Umm Muhammad said sadly.

Umm Muhammad added: " I cannot leave my husband despite everything that happened, I will never leave him."

These stories are true examples of Palestinian women who are firm and steadfast, and able to sacrifice themselves for their sons, brothers and husbands.
