Elderly Palestinians Choose to Stay in Gaza Despite Harsh Conditions
GAZA —
Despite chronic displacement, trauma, and deteriorating living conditions, many elderly Palestinians in Gaza remain determined to stay in their homeland.
Rafah Crossing Partially Reopens
The Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt partially reopened this week after two years of Israeli-mandated closure. The news provides relief for Palestinians in urgent need of medical treatment abroad.
Choosing to Stay
For many older residents, however, leaving Gaza is not an option. Staying in the enclave is an act of survival, resistance, and preservation of historical memory. Even with Rafah open, they are choosing to remain in their homes.
