Destitute from war, a mother in Gaza made a fateful choice and gave her young daughters in marriage
A mother in Gaza, Majda, faced with extreme poverty and the loss of her husband and son due to Israeli airstrikes, made the difficult decision to marry off her two daughters, aged 13 and 14, to men who promised safety. This choice, driven by desperation and fear for her daughters' safety, has led to significant regret as the girls have since experienced severe abuse and health complications from early pregnancies. The ongoing conflict has contributed to a rise in child marriages in Gaza, reversing a previous decline in such practices.
