Reunited with my cat in the rubble of Gaza

This is how 13-year-old Yousef Khalid Saeed Naji describes feeling as he is reunited with his cat in the ruins of his Gaza home. Yousef and his sister Samah Khalid Naji, 18, have chosen to live there with five other members of their family after it was destroyed by an Israeli airstrike in October. "All we wish for is to return to our previous life that we complained about, but we can't,” said Samah, who was a university student for a few weeks before Israel’s assault on Gaza began. The Guardian spent two days with Yousef, Samah and their family in December to see the remains of their house in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza. #news #gaza #israel #palestine #cat #animals
