For the past 28 days, thousands of Palestinian
workers in the
occupied territories have remained unaware of their families'
fates in Gaza due to the aggression on Gaza, which has resulted in thousands of
deaths and the complete destruction of residential neighborhoods and towers,
Khaberni reported.
Thousands of workers arrested
Those workers who arrived in Gaza on Friday
had endured challenging conditions inside occupation prisons after their arrest
during the ongoing war since October 7.
Routes were cut off for workers trying to
reach their homes in Gaza
Routes were cut off for workers trying to
reach their homes in Gaza, especially in the northern areas and Gaza City, due
to the intense shelling on the Strip. Hassan Abu Al-Khair, from Rafah, said,
"We were in 'Israel' and wanted to escape to the West Bank after the
closure of Gaza's borders... But the occupation army arrested us."
He added, "I haven't been in contact with
my family, and we don't know anything about them... Are they alive or have they
become martyrs?"
He continued, "In detention, they
suppressed us, and we were given a tomato in the morning and one apple in the
evening for food.”
Meanwhile, Abdul Nasser Abdul Bari, a resident
of Al-Shati refugee camp west of Gaza City, said, "They arrested us from
Rahat city in the Negev (south) and took us for interrogation, questioning us
about Hamas in Gaza."
He added, "They asked us about our residential areas in Gaza... and told us that those who lie will have their
homes bombed... Today, I don't know anything about my family. I asked about
them in Al-Shati camp, and they told me they had left for the southern Gaza
Strip."
Ramzi Abu Tayr, from the town of Abasan
al-Kabira, said, "Something terrible happened to us... We were working in
Rahat city before heading to the West Bank, and they arrested us at the
checkpoints and threw us into prisons without any guilt."
He added, "There is no communication with
our families... The occupiers took our phones, personal IDs, money, and
anything we had."
