Awad tells Al-Arabi Al-Jadeed: “We no longer care about anything, as anxiety has become an essential part of our daily lives. I walk to the market every day to secure our needs, and every evening I remember my destroyed home and my martyred brothers. We are forced to bear the pressure. I have two children, Ahmed (9 years old) and Ola (8 years old), and they tell me that they long to breathe freely and comfortably, but we do not have this luxury currently, and our day goes from morning to evening in fatigue and anxiety, and we fear that the process will begin again. I worry that the Zionist military forces will come and I lose my children – and then we are busy again getting water and bread.”
