“If you read this, it means we’re in the care of Allah. To my dear mum, sisters and brothers, to my dad, who left us many years ago but passed on his remarkable strength and courage to me, I tried with all my might and all my heart, gave it all I could to protect the children, but something else was planned for us. Don’t be sad, because we are in a place where we will feel no more pain.

Around 3,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli air strikes, according to the Gaza health ministry, and hundreds of thousands have been displaced, as Israel launches a military operation in response to the 7 October attack conducted by the armed wing of the militant group Hamas, which killed at least 1,400 people.

Islamist militant groups will thrive.The mother ended her message with a desperate call for international support, asking the world to “stay strong and stand with the people of Palestine”.
