‘I was worried for this girl, because glory be to God, how God planted her love in me. I felt that she was from me, I felt that she means a lot to me, and thank God I was able to get her out of the department, and now she is with me at home and has been for a month and a half.’ The health worker said that Malak is a survivor of what she described as the ‘Al-Sabra neighbourhood massacre’, referring to an area in Gaza City which has been heavily targeted by the Israeli military.
