We asked the father about his feelings and he said he has nothing to say.

We don’t know what to do and where to go."

We spoke with Abdullah's mother about her feelings and she said: "My children are traumatized. Sometimes in the middle of the night Abdullah wakes up screaming and says: MOM the bulldozers are coming, MOM the bulldozers are coming to kill us. All of my children have very bad nightmares and they dream of shootings, and explosions. They was excellent in school, but now they are not .. our house was demolished and we don’t know what will happen to us."


Abdullah's hopes: Abdullah said all he wants right now is to drink mango juice. But when he grows up, he wants to be a physican.

When we visited them on March 10th, during this chilly and raining winter weather, the father was searching for a plastic sheet to cover the tent. The children were sleeping in the tent, and we tock some pictures of them while they were sleeping.

Nora's father said: "Where do I have to go now? As you see I live with my children in that tent."

Nora's hopes: Nora wants to be a teacher when she grows up, and she also wants to build a house instead of her old home which was demolished with all the furniture.
