‘I just want to see my mother again’: Palestinian-Americans beg for help getting family out of Gaza
2023-12-24
Someone doesn’t understand how war works.
[IsraelTimes] Fadi Sckak has already lost his father to the violence in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
. He wants to help his mother escape that fate.

"I just want to see my mother again, that’s the goal," says Sckak, a university student in Sunnyvale, Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,. The 25-year-old is one of the Paleostinian couple’s three American sons, including an active-duty US soldier serving in South Korea. "Being able to hold her again. I can’t bear to lose her."

His mother, Zahra Sckak, 44, is holed up with an older, ailing American relative in a Gaza City building along with 100 others. She is among what the State Department says are 300 American citizens, permanent legal residents or their parents and young children still trapped by the fighting between Israel and the Hamas
...one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede,...
terror group in Gaza.

Relatives in the United States and other advocates are pleading for the Biden administration and Congress to help them flee.

Fadi Sckak’s mother is on her sixth day with only water from the sewers to drink and with little or no food and rescue hopes waning, he says. His dad, Abedalla, was shot and maimed last month, after a bombing forced the family to flee the building where they had been sheltering, and died days later without treatment, he claims.

Their son listened over the phone as his mother begged for help after the shooting. He could hear his 56-year-old father, who had diabetes and corresponding health problems, in the background, crying out in pain.

"He didn’t deserve a painful experience like that. To die, with no help, no one even trying to help," Sckak says.

Some US citizens and legal residents and their immediate family are stranded near Gaza’s Rafah crossing into Egypt, desperately waiting for placement on a list of names provided by the US government that would authorize them to leave Gaza.

The State Department said yesterday that it has helped more than 1,300 people who were eligible for US assistance — American citizens, green-card holders and their immediate family members — make it through the Rafah crossing to Egypt. The department is tracking 300 more still seeking US help to escape; that includes what it says are fewer than 50 US citizens.

"US citizens and their families will make their own decisions and adjust their plans as this difficult situation changes," the department says in a statement.

#5  Article is confusing - authorized to leave Gaza or authorized to enter Egypt? Egypt's role in trapping Gazans is never mentioned by the MSM.

Just reminder.

HAMAS launched its Murderous, Genocidal Terrorist attack against 1000s of NON-Combatants citizens solely based on Race & Religion.

Israel provided an evacuee window and path of safe exit, prior to its IDF S&D mission against HAMAS.

HAMAS publicly BLOCKED the Evacuees exit paths and routes.

Plus, many Palestinians CHOOSE to stay.

This now all falls on HAMAS' shoulders.
