Gaza genocide leaves record number of orphans and widows
Every two days, the three Abu Asser siblings move from one aunt’s tent to another, a routine that began after they were orphaned days into the ceasefire in Gaza last year.
Mariam, 16, Aya, 14, and Jebril, 12, lost their father during Israel’s 2014 offensive on Gaza.
After their home in Gaza City was destroyed during the Israeli genocide that began in 2023, they sought refuge with their mother, Islam, in a makeshift tent in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza.
