The article recounts the harrowing experience of a family disrupted by violence in Gaza. Najy Ajour's planned departure to reunite with his family in Egypt was thwarted when the Rafah crossing closed. His final year was filled with enduring hope amid isolation and trauma, culminating in dreams of finally escaping. Tragically, his hopes were dashed, as he passed away waiting for a reunion that never came, embodying the desperate circumstances faced by many in conflict zones.
In his final year, he lived in forced solitude, moving to my sister's partially damaged apartment in Khan Younis, but still held on to hope.
With the support of friends, I managed their departure through the Rafah crossing while it was briefly open, aiming to reunite my family.
