Le nhlolokhono ihlelelwe ubude nokucaca.
UMaha Hijazi: Izingane zami nanoma yiziphi izingane zethu zasePalestine azizizwa ziphephile, zizizwa zivikelekile, futhi zizizwa zivikelekile. Ubusuku bonke nemini bezwa ukuqhuma kwamabhomu yonke indawo futhi banombuzo owodwa kuphela: Yini engalungile esingayenza ukuze sifanelwe le mpilo, futhi sizofa namuhla noma ebusuku?
Nsuku zonke babengibuza ngaphambi kokuba silale, 'Mama, sizofa namhlanje ebusuku, sifana nomakhelwane bethu, njengezihlobo zethu?' Ngakho kwadingeka ngibagone ngibathembise ukuthi uma sifa, sizofa ndawonye, ngakho ngeke sizwe lutho. Futhi uma uzwa ukuqhuma kwebhomu, kusho ukuthi uphephile. I-rocket ezokubulala, ngeke uzwe umsindo wayo.
Izindaba ze-UN: Ubaleke eGaza ngoMsombuluko waya e-Egypt. Sitshele ngohambo, ikakhulukazi njengoba abezobuntu beshilo ukuthi akukho ndawo ephephile eGaza.
UMaha Hijazi: Ngizizwa ngithukuthele ukuthi kufanele ngishiye izwe lakithi - ngishiye ikhaya lami, indawo yami yokuhlala, futhi ngishiye nomsebenzi wami wansuku zonke ngesekela ababaleki - kodwa yini enye engingayenza ezinganeni zami ngoba zinezizwe ezimbili. Ngidinga ukuthola leli thuba lokuthi balale futhi bazizwe befana nezinye izingane. Ngakho-ke, angifuni ukuphuthelwa yileli thuba naphezu kwabo bonke ubuhlungu obungaphakathi.
Ngiyakutshela ukuthi lonke lolu hambo ngangikhala nezingane zami ngoba singafuni ukusuka emhlabeni wethu, asifuni ukusuka eGaza. Kodwa saphoqeleka ukuba sikwenze lokho sifuna ukuphepha nokuvikelwa.
Empeleni ngangihlala phakathi neGaza, eDeir al Balah, futhi ukuwela kuseRafah eningizimu. Abantu abaningi abasanda kukhishwa bebehamba kuSalahadin Street futhi bebengeke babe nendawo abangaya kuyo. Sibabonile futhi sabona ukuqhuma kwamabhomu ohambweni lwethu saze safika endaweni yokuwela iRafah, ngendlela, akubona bonke abantu basePalestine abavunyelwe ukudlula. Kufanele ube nesinye isizwe noma enye ipasipoti. Ngakho, kwakunzima, futhi ngeke ngilukhohlwe lolu suku.
Izindaba ze-UN: Wawuyini umsebenzi wakho omkhulu kwa-UNRWA?
UMaha Hijazi: Umsebenzi wami oyinhloko phakathi nezimo eziphuthumayo, noma phakathi nale mpi, kwakuyindawo yokudla egunjini lokuhlinza elimaphakathi. Ngakho-ke, nganginomthwalo wemfanelo wokuthola ukudla okudingekayo kubantu abafudukayo (ama-IDP) ngaphakathi kwezindawo zokukhosela ze-UNRWA. Uhlelo lwethu bekuwukuba nama-IDP angama-150,000 asePalestine ngaphakathi kwezindawo zokukhosela ze-UNRWA manje esezifinyelela cishe esigidini esisodwa. Izidingo zabo ziphezulu kakhulu futhi kukhona ukushoda kwezinsiza, yingakho sisebenza kanzima ukuze siqinisekise okungenani ubuncane bazo ukuze basinde.
Izindaba ze-UN: Isebenza kanjani i-UNRWA, futhi ikwazi kuphi ukusiza abantu baseGaza?
UMaha Hijazi: Abantu bafuna izikole ze-UNRWA. Bafuna ukuvikelwa ngaphansi kwefulegi le-UN, futhi-ke sinesibopho sokubanikeza ukudla kanye nezinto ezingezona ezokudla, izingubo zokulala, omatilasi, ngaphezu kwamanzi okuphuza namanzi ahambayo.
Amaqembu e-UNRWA eGaza asebenza kanzima ukuze anikeze zonke izidingo eziyisisekelo zalabo bantu, futhi inombolo yokuqala ukuphepha nokuphepha. Naphezu kwalokho, ayikho indawo ephephile eGaza, okuyiqiniso kakhulu futhi elungile kakhulu. Kodwa senza konke okusemandleni ethu, naphezu kwazo zonke izinselelo, naphezu kwezinsiza ezilinganiselwe, nakuba uphethiloli ungekho. Kodwa senza umsebenzi ongenakwenzeka wokuvikela lokho esingakuvikelela abantu bakithi.
Izindaba ze-UN: Ngabe i-UNRWA ibiwuthola uphethiloli ngesikhathi ukhona? Kuthiwani ngokudla namanzi? Ingabe uyazithola izinsiza ozidingayo?
UMaha Hijazi: Ezinsukwini zokuqala zokukhuphuka, sayeka ukuthola uphethiloli. Futhi ngemva kwalokho sathola njengamathonsi kaphethiloli ukuze nje siqhube izimoto zethu. Muva nje, mhlawumbe ezinsukwini ezine noma ezinhlanu ezedlule, sivunyelwe ukuthola uphethiloli, kodwa bekuyinani elincane kakhulu. Ngikhumbula izinsuku zokugcina ngiseGaza sasinamaloli osizo esiphambanweni saseRafah, kodwa uphethiloli ungekho emalolini, ngakho amaloli abambeke izinsuku ezimbili elindele ukuthelwa uphethiloli. Amajeneretha okuhlinzeka ngogesi, nokumpompa amanzi, izimboni zokukhuculula indle, yonke into idinga uphethiloli, ngaphezu kwamabhikawozi.
Mayelana nokudla namanzi, amanani amancane kakhulu futhi awanele izidingo zethu njengoba inani lama-IDP likhula ngendlela emangalisayo. Kepha akubona nje abantu abangaphakathi kwezindawo zokukhosela ze-UNRWA. Kunamakhulu ezinkulungwane zabantu ngaphandle kwezindawo zokukhosela ze-UNRWA. Balambile futhi abakutholi ukudla, ngisho nasezimakethe zendawo. Umkhaya wakithi wawungekho endaweni yokukhosela e-UNRWA, kodwa ngiyakhumbula ukuthi abazali bami babengakutholi ukudla okwanele emakethe. Sakubona lokho. Saya ezimakethe, kodwa azinamuntu. Asitholanga lutho esingakuthenga. Sinayo imali, kodwa asinalutho esingaluthenga.
