Ibrahim Alagha is just one of around 40 Irish passport holders stranded in the war-torn Gaza Strip
Ibrahim and Hamida Alagha with their children Sami , Eileen and Omar fled Gaza city and are staying in a farmhouse in Khan Yunis in the southern end of the Gaza Strip.
They fled their apartment in Gaza city last month to move in with his parents in the city of Khan Yunis in the southern end of the Gaza Strip. They are now among 90 people living in his father’s farmhouse and medical clinic.Flatbread for thousands: how a war-torn Gaza bakery is fighting hunger“My apartment in Gaza was targeted, the whole building was just bombed down,” Mr Alagha told The Irish Times on Monday.
“We are always worried. We are trying to have a single meal a day,” he added. “Our meals are extremely simple, sometimes it’s just plain bread, maybe top it up with some biscuits later on in the day.” Mr Alagha said he is in daily contact with the Department of Foreign Affairs but does not know why Irish passport holders have not been included on the lists of nationalities to be evacuated from the region to date.
“They don’t really understand what’s going on but they get really scared whenever they hear a bombing,” he said.
