Taking advantage of her knowledge of spinning and knitting, Mrs. Shahinaz Bakr – who was displaced with her family from the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood in the northern Gaza Strip – makes what may help the children of her family withstand the harsh and severe cold, using what she has of wool and thread for worn out clothes.
The sixty-year-old woman tells of the harsh conditions they lived through, after a carefree and happy life before the war, as the occupation forces targeted the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood with fire belts and intense bombardment, forcing them to flee and be repeatedly displaced.
She says that she and her family left under the weight of the bombing, without water or food, and they took the seaside road on foot, accompanied by a crippled woman, pregnant women, and children, until they reached their place of displacement in the south.
