Sinclair is teaming up with Magen David Adom to help with their efforts providing humanitarian relief & emergency medical services in IsraelPeople help evacuate a Palestinian woman following Israeli airstrikes that targeted her neighbourhood in Gaza City, Monday, Oct. 23, 2023. Yousra Abu Sharekh’s days begin in the southern Gaza Strip often after sleepless nights amid blaring ambulance sirens and the clamor of neighbors in the brief pause between relentless Israeli airstrikes.
Only two weeks ago, Abu Sharekh had a thriving life, working enthusiastically at a coveted new job and caring for her family. Now when thinking about the future, many draw blank, unable to imagine an existence beyond the daily fear of being killed in an airstrike. They include graphic designers seeking shelter in tents outside overcrowded U.N. facilities, architects living among dozens of other relatives and U.N. workers grappling with the destruction of their houses.
Within the span of a week starting Oct. 7, those hopes vanished as if crushed under the rubble of the flattened homes in her Gaza City neighborhood. Survival grew precarious. Her workplace became the scene of a horrific explosion. The shelter, housing nearly 11 times its designated capacity with nearly 20,000 people, is the most overcrowded among the 91 UNRWA installations where nearly half a million Gaza residents have sought refuge. Tents have cropped up outside, triggering painful memories of the mass displacement of the 1948 war with Israel, which Palestinians call the Nakba, or catastrophe.Men and women stand in line to use the same toilet facility. The wait is so long that fights break out. Garbage is piled outside.
But her 63-year-old mother didn’t feel safe anywhere else, despite warnings from relatives that even U.N. shelters were not impervious to Israeli bombardment.
