A 21-year-old university student studying public relations and marketing, a resident of the Mukhabarat Towers in Gaza City, spoke about the bombing of her uncle's house, in which her sisters were killed, and about her life in the displaced persons' camp: Nihal al-Najjar in the family tent in the displaced persons' camp in Khan Yunis. Photo: Olfat al-Kurd, December 24, 2023 Since the beginning of the war, intense shelling began everywhere in Gaza City. On October 12, 2023, we received instructions from the Israeli military via phone calls and messages to evacuate the building we were living in, Tower 3 in the Mukhabarat Towers, because they intended to bomb it. The tower was 11 stories high, and I was living in one of the four apartments on the third floor with my family—my parents, myself, my two sisters, and my two brothers. We have another married sister who does not live with us. I'm engaged and I was supposed to get married in November. Some of the residents of the building had already left when the war began because of the bombing. My mother, two sisters, and I left on October 12, 2023, and went to the home of my aunt, Samira al-Najjar (55 years old), who lives in the Jabalia refugee camp. My father and two brothers stayed at home, but on the same day, Tower 1 was bombed, so they moved to the al-Mashtal Hotel in northwest Gaza City. Then, because of the bombing in the hotel area, they told us they would be moving to the Khan Yunis area, where a displaced persons camp had been improvised and set up in the UNRWA industrial training complex. We stayed at my aunt's house for about two weeks, surrounded by constant bombing and glass shards flying at us. On October 24, 2023, my aunt received a written message from the army by phone ordering her to evacuate the house because it was about to be bombed. We left and moved to the home of my uncle, Mohammed al-Najjar (40 years old), who also lives in Jabalia refugee camp, in a ground-floor apartment. The next day, October 25, 2023, at around 7:00 PM, I was sitting in the living room with my mother, my sisters, Mays and Kholoud, my uncle's wife, with her two-month-old baby Mahmoud, and three of her daughters – Shahd (15 years old), Waad (13 years old), and Jana (10 years old). My sisters, Mona and Nour, were in another room, while my uncle Mohammed was outside the house and his daughter, Ghazal (11 years old), had gone to a neighbor's house to charge her phone. Suddenly, we found ourselves under the rubble. There were ten of us, and we didn't know who was alive and who was dead. We didn't hear an explosion. Suddenly, we found ourselves under the rubble. People flocked to help us. I don't know exactly what happened next. I couldn't see anyone because of the smoke and rubble. I lost consciousness and when I woke up, I found myself in the Indonesian Hospital, north of Gaza City. I was with my mother, and it turned out she had third-degree burns on her face, hands, back, and legs. I had injuries to my hands, and they had put platelets in my fingers and left leg. Mais also had burns, in addition to wounds that had been stitched. They told me that my sisters, Mona and Nour, had been martyred, as well as Kholoud, her infant son, and her three daughters who were with her. When I learned what had happened, I couldn't stop crying and screaming. I couldn't control myself. I still cry for them uncontrollably. The next morning, our family's martyrs were buried in the Beit Lahia cemetery, north of Gaza City. My mother, my sister Mais, and I remained in the hospital but were unable to attend their funeral. Later, my fiancé, Yasser Muhanna (30 years old), took me from the Indonesian hospital to Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, while my mother and sister Mais remained at the Indonesian hospital. But then the shelling intensified around Al-Shifa Hospital, and we decided to leave south, to Khan Yunis. We walked until we reached the Netzarim checkpoint. I was in a wheelchair. After the checkpoint, we got into a donkey cart, and then a truck took us to Khan Yunis, where we arrived around 5:00 PM. My mother and sister Mais arrived there the next day after they had also been forced to flee due to the heavy shelling around the Indonesian hospital. We have been in the displacement camp for about a month, and here we met my father and brothers. The conditions here are very difficult. We are living in a tent made of nylon and tarpaulin. We came with nothing but the clothes we were wearing, and we were wounded. We go daily to the Japanese hospital near the displaced persons camp to have our bandages changed. People donated blankets and clothes to us. There are no toilets nearby, and when we need to, we walk about 100 meters to reach one. Every time, our brothers accompany us and help us because it is difficult for us to walk. All my dreams have been shattered. My two sisters were martyred and my house was bombed. My wedding clothes and my gold jewelry are all left under the rubble. The Israeli army left me nothing. It stole everything beautiful in my life. We are all living in terrible misery now. I cry for my sisters all the time and I cry because of the situation and the lack of hope. The names of those killed in the bombing of Muhammad al-Najjar's house: Mona Nidal Hussein al-Najjar (20 years old), Nour Nidal Hussein al-Najjar (18 years old), Khulud Mas'ud (31 years old) and her children: Shahd Muhammad Hussein al-Najjar (15 years old), Waad Muhammad Hussein al-Najjar (13 years old), Jana Muhammad Hussein al-Najjar (10 years old), Mahmoud Muhammad Hussein al-Najjar (2 months old). *This testimony was recorded by B'Tselem field researcher Olfat al-Kurd on 24 December 2023.

21 عاماً، طالبة جامعيّة تدرس علاقات عامّة وتسويق، من سكّان "أبراج المخابرات" في مدينة غزّة، تحدّثت عن قصف منزل عمّها، الذي قُتلت فيه أخواتها، وعن حياتها في مخيم المهجَّرين: نهال النجّار في خيمة الأسرة في مخيّم المهجّرين في خان يونس. تصوير: ألفت الكُرد، 24.12.23 منذ بداية الحرب بدأ القصف المكثّف في كلّ مكان في مدينة غزّة. في 12.10.23 تلقّينا تعليمات من الجيش الإسرائيليّ عبر مكالمات ورسائل هاتفيّة بإخلاء البناية التي نُقيم فيها، وهي البُرج رقم 3 في "أبراج المخابرات"، لأنّهم يعتزمون قصفها. كان البرج مؤلّفاً من 11 طابقاً، وكنت أقيم في إحدى الشقق الأربع في الطابق الثالث مع أسرتي - والديّ وأنا وشقيقتيّ وشقيقيّ. لدينا أخت أخرى متزوّجة وهي لا تقيم معنا. أنا مخطوبة وكان يُفترض أن أتزوّج في تشرين الثاني.كان بعض سكّان البناية قد غادروا فور بدء الحرب بسبب القصف. أنا وأمّي وشقيقتاي غادرنا في 12.10.23 وذهبنا إلى منزل عمّتي سميرة النجّار (55 عاماً) المقيمة في مخيّم جباليا للّاجئين. بقي والدي وشقيقاي في المنزل، ولكن في نفس اليوم قُصف البُرج رقم 1 فانتقلوا إلى فندق المشتل في شمال غرب مدينة غزّة. ثمّ بسبب القصف في منطقة الفندق، قالوا لنا إنّهم سوف ينتقلون إلى منطقة خان يونس حيث مخيم المهجَّرين الذي أقيم بصورة ارتجالية في مجمّع التدريب الصناعي التابع لوكالة الغوث.مكثنا عند عمّتي نحو أسبوعين ومن حولنا القصف الدّائم وشظايا الزجاج تتطاير نحونا. في 24.10.23 تلقّت عمّتي من الجيش رسالة خطيّة عبر الهاتف تأمرها بإخلاء المنزل لأنّهم يعتزمون قصفه. غادرنا وانتقلنا إلى منزل عمّي محمد النجّار (40 عاماً) المقيم هو الآخر في مخيّم جباليا للّاجئين، في شقّة في طابق أرضيّ.في اليوم التالي، 25.10.23، نحو السّاعة 19:00، كنت أجلس في غرفة الاستقبال مع والدتي وشقيقتي ميس وخُلود زوجة عمّي وطفلها الرّضيع محمود (شهران) وثلاث من بناتها – شهْد (15 عاماً)، وَعْد (13 عاماً) وجنى (10 أعوام). وكانت شقيقتاي منى ونور في غرفة أخرى، فيما كان عمّي محمد خارج المنزل وابنته غزل (11 عاماً) كانت قد ذهبت إلى منزل الجيران لكي تشحن الهاتف. فجأة وجدنا أنفسنا تحت الأنقاض.كنّا عشرة أشخاص ولم نعرف من حيّ ومن ميت. لم نسمع انفجاراً. فجأة وجدنا أنفسنا تحت الأنقاض. توافد الناس لمساعدتنا. أنا لا أعرف بالضبط ماذا حدث بعد ذلك. لم أستطع أن أرى أحداً بسبب الدخان والرّكام.فقدت الوعي ثمّ حين أفقت وجدت نفسي في المستشفى الإندونيسي، شماليّ مدينة غزّة. كنت مع والدتي، وقد تبيّن لي أنّها تعاني حروقاً من الدرجة الثالثة في الوجه واليد والظهر والرجلين. كانت إصابتي في يديّ وقد وضعوا بلاتين في الأصابع وفي رجلي اليسرى. ميس ايضاً تعاني من حروق، إضافة إلى جروح تمّ تقطيبها.قالوا لي إنّ شقيتيّ منى ونور قد استُشهدتا، وكذلك قُتلت خلود وطفلها الرضيع وبناتها الثلاث اللّواتي كنّ معها. عندما علمت أنّ هذا ما جرى لم استطع التوقف عن البُكاء والصّراخ. لم أستطع أن أتمالك نفسي. وما زلت حتى الآن أبكيهنّ دون توقّف. في صباح اليوم التالي دُفن شهداء عائلتنا في مقبرة بيت لاهيا شماليّ مدينة غزّة. بقيتُ أنا ووالدتي وشقيقتي ميس في المستشفى ولم نتمكّن من المشاركة في تشييعهم.لاحقاً أخذني خطيبي ياسر مهنّا (30 عاماً) من المستشفى الإندونيسي إلى مستشفى الشفاء في مدينة غزّة، وبقيت والدتي وشقيقتي ميس في الإندونيسيّ. ولكن عندئذٍ اشتدّ القصف في محيط مستشفى الشفاء وقرّرنا أن نغادر جنوباً، إلى خان يونس. ذهبنا سيراً على الأقدام حتى وصلنا إلى حاجز "نتسريم"، وكنت أنا على كرسيّ عجلات. بعد الحاجز اعتلينا عربة يجرّها حمار، ثمّ أقلّتنا شاحنة إلى خان يونس حيث وصلنا نحو السّاعة 17:00. في اليوم التالي وصلت إلى هناك والدتي وشقيقتي ميس بعد أن اضطرّت الاثنتان أيضاً إلى الفرار بسبب القصف الشديد في محيط المستشفى الإندونيسيّ.نحن في مخيّم المهجّرين منذ شهر تقريباً، وقد التقينا هنا والدي وأشقّائي. الظروف هنا صعبة جدّاً. نحن نقيم في خيمة من النايلون وقماش الشوادر. أتينا خالين من أيّ شيء سوى الملابس التي نرتديها، ونحن جريحات. نحن نذهب يوميّاً إلى المستشفى الياباني قرب مخيّم النازحين لتغيير الضمادات. تبرّع الناس لنا ببطّانيّات وملابس.لا توجد مراحيض قريبة منّا، وعند الحاجة نمشي نحو مائة متر لكي نصل إلى المراحيض، وفي كلّ مرّة يرافقنا أشقاؤنا ويساعدوننا لأنّه من الصعب علينا المشي.لقد تلاشت كلّ أحلامي. استشهدت شقيقتاي وقُصف منزلي. ملابس العُرس ومصاغي الذهبيّ بقيت كلّها تحت الأنقاض. لم يُبق لي الجيش الإسرائيليّ شيئاً. سلب منّي كلّ ما هو جميل في حياتي. كلّنا نعيش الآن في بؤس فظيع. أنا أبكي شقيقتيّ طوال الوقت وأبكي بسبب الوضع وانعدام الأمل.أسماء القتلى جرّاء قصف منزل محمد النجّار:منى نضال حسين النجّار (20 عاماً).نور نضال حسين النجّار (18 عاماً).خلود مسعود (31 عاماً) وأبناؤها:شهد محمد حسين النجّار (15 عاماً)وعد محمد حسين النجّار (13 عاماً)جنى محمد حسين النجّار (10 سنوات)محمود محمد حسين النجّار (شهران).* هذه الإفادة سجّلتها باحثة بتسيلم الميدانيّة ألفت الكُرد في 24.12.23

A 21-year-old public relations student and resident of the Mukhabarat Towers in Gaza City, Nihal described the bombing of her uncle’s home that killed her sisters and living in a DIP camp: Nihal a-Najar in her family’s tent in the DIP camp in Khan Yunis. Photo: Olfat al-Kurd, 24 Dec. 2023 Soon after the war began, there was heavy bombing all over Gaza City. On 12 October 2023, we received phone calls and texts from the Israeli army telling us to vacate our building, Tower 3 of the Mukhabarat Towers, because they were going to bomb it. The tower had 11 stories, and I lived in one of four apartments on the third floor with my parents, two of my sisters and my brothers. Another sister was married and didn’t live with us. I’m engaged and was supposed to get married in November.Some people left the building as soon as the war began, because of the bombings. I left with my mother and sisters on 12 October. We went to stay with my aunt, Samira a-Najar, 55, in Jabalya Refugee Camp. My father and brothers stayed home. But that day, Tower 1 was bombed and they moved to the Mashtal Hotel northwest of Gaza City. Then there were bombings near the hotel, too, so they told us they were moving to the makeshift displaced persons’ camp at the UNRWA training compound in Khan Yunis.We stayed at my aunt’s place for about two weeks. There was bombing around us all the time, and bits of glass kept flying our way. On 24 October, my aunt got a text from the Israeli army saying we had to vacate the house because they were going to bomb it. We went to stay with my uncle Muhammad, 40, who also lived in the camp in a ground-floor apartment.The next day, 25 October, at around 7:00 P.M., I was sitting in the living room with my mother, my sister Mays, my uncle’s wife Khulud, their two-month-old baby Mahmoud, and three of their daughters, Shahd, 15, Wa’d, 13, and Jana, 10. My sisters Muna and Nur were in another room. My uncle Muhammad was out, and their daughter Ghazal, 11, was at the neighbors’ place charging her phone. Suddenly, we found ourselves under rubble.There were ten of us, and we didn’t know who was alive and who was dead. We didn’t hear the bombing itself, just suddenly found ourselves under a pile of rubble. People came to help us. I don’t know exactly what happened next. There was so much smoke and debris, I couldn’t see anyone.I blacked out and woke up in the Indonesian Hospital north of Gaza City. My mother was also there, with third-degree burns on her face, arm, back and legs. I was injured in both hands and they put platinum implants in my fingers and in my left leg. Mays had burns, too, and wounds that were stitched.I was told my two sisters Muna and Nur were killed, and that Khulud, her baby boy and her daughters who were with us were killed, too. When I found out, I cried and shouted. I couldn’t calm down. I still can’t stop crying over them. The next morning, they were buried at the Beit Lahiya graveyard north of Gaza City. I stayed in hospital with my mother and Mays, and we couldn’t attend the funeral.My fiancé, Yaser Mhanna, 30, took me from the Indonesian Hospital to a-Shifaa Hospital in Gaza City, and my mother and Mays stayed at the Indonesian Hospital. But then the bombings around a-Shifaa got heavier, and we decided to leave and go south, to Khan Yunis. We got to Netzarim Checkpoint on foot, with me in a wheelchair. After the checkpoint, we took a donkey cart and then a truck. At about 5:00 P.M., we got to Khan Yunis. The next day, my mother and Mays also arrived. They had to escape, too, because there was heavy bombing around the Indonesian Hospital as well.We’ve been at the displaced persons’ camp in Khan Yunis for about a month. We met my father and brothers here. The conditions are very bad. We’re living in a tent made of nylon and stiff fabric. We arrived only with the clothes on our backs, injured. Every day, we go to the Japanese Hospital by the camp to change bandages. People gave us blankets and clothes.There’s no toilet nearby, and we have to walk about 100 meters to get to one. Every time we need the bathroom, our brothers take us because it’s hard for us to walk.All my dreams are gone. My sisters were killed, my home was bombed. The wedding dresses and my gold jewelry are under the rubble. The Israeli army left me with nothing. No hope for happiness. It took away every sweet thing in my life. Our lives are terrible now. I cry all the time over my sisters, over the situation, over the hopelessness of it all.The people killed in the bombing of Muhammad a-Najar’s home:Muna Nidal Hussein a-Najar, 20Nur Nidal Hussein a-Najar, 18Khulud Mas’ud, 30, and her children:Shahd Muhammad Hussein a-Najar, 15Wa’d Muhammad Hussein a-Najar, 13Jana Muhammad Hussein a-Najar, 10Mahmoud Muhammad Hussein a-Najar, 2 months* Testimony given to B’Tselem field researcher Olfat al-Kurd on 24 December 2023.
