Manal's Parent's Experience
My parent's town was bombed and they were called upon to evacute and move to a refugee camp that was set up about three kilometers from their home, a temporary one, an over-night kind of thing. They were in touch with their homes. They would come every morning and pick up a couple of objects and go back. “It's not safe yet, soldiers are raiding the place, wait until the Arab army comes. Wait until the town is liberated.Wait until UN supervisors come in and it is safer.” But of course that never happened. They ended up there for years. Eventually they left that temporary camp and moved to south to Gaza which was a giant refugee camp. But my parents were lucky. They were educated and they were able to move out. Egypt was mandating the Gaza strip region so they had freedom to move to Egypt to study there. They found ways out of it, out of the camps.
