“Luckily, they were sleeping the day I left because I left early in the morning. I didn’t wake them up, so I didn’t want to say goodbye to them, so I didn’t want to see them feeling bad. It’s like we’re leaving them but they’re still there.”
Balousha also said that he felt “guilty for leaving people behind”, adding that he deliberately avoided watching videos from the Gaza Strip, but remained in constant contact with family members whenever he could reach them at every opportunity due to connectivity difficulties. .
He also described how he avoided taking personal photos or videos for himself or his family during the war “because [is] A memory I don’t want to remember.”
Balousha said it is not yet clear whether he will be able to return to Gaza with his family after the war is over. He spoke about the level of destruction, saying he wasn’t sure if his house was still standing as it was located in the area where Israel has launched ground attacks in recent weeks.
