Nour told Reuters at her family’s home in Khan Yunis in the Gaza Strip, 4 days after her return, that electricity and water had been cut off at the sound of gunfire and missiles before she left. can understand what was going on.
Nour, 25, adds: “I left the house, there was no rickshaw (tuk-tuk) or means of transport, but cars were passing and did not stop you. The industrial area was burnt down, like it was an eyesore on D-Day of the resurrection, honestly.”
She said: “It was a feeling of fear and dread to see corpses thrown right and left, people cut up and banks burned. You feel there is no salvation (there is no there’s no) security.”
Hundreds of people have been killed since a power struggle erupted between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces in mid-April.
The Palestinian Foreign Ministry said on Monday it had completed the evacuation of Palestinians in Sudan, in cooperation with Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia.
Gaza has gone through numerous wars between Israeli and Palestinian factions and suffered its own bout of civil unrest, and the Israeli-led blockade has restricted the movement of people and goods for years.
“Frankly, it was worse than the war in Gaza,” said Nour, who went days without bread or clean water after leaving home to live with a Sudanese friend.
Shops were closed as looting spread.
Nour added: “There was someone filling the water tanks and everyone came. The water is salty, fresh, a hundred seas, a hundred rivers. The most important thing is water. By God, we boiled the water, there was seaweed in it, but we boiled it to drink it, so we drank and thirsted more.”
Nour arrived in Sudan in 2015 to study medicine, but her studies were interrupted due to civil conflict and the pandemic. She was supposed to graduate in a few days, as she only had a few exams, but the conflict arose and prevented her.
She said, “A feeling like someone was taking your son away from you. I felt my future was taken away from me against my will. All the fatigue was in vain.”
Her family welcomed her on a crossing to Egypt on Friday with tears, not the celebrations they had planned for later this month when she finished school.
His mother, Ruwaida Kallab, said: “Happy conditions turned to sad conditions.”
