A Palestinian family split between Israel and Gaza reunites after years of war and loss
Mais al-Gharam secured Israeli passports for her seven Gaza-born siblings, ages 8 to 22, after a yearslong legal effort.
- On July 8, 2026, seven Palestinian siblings from Gaza reunited with sister Mais al-Gharam in Nazareth, Israel, following a yearslong legal effort to secure their passage.
- An airstrike on their Nuseirat home on July 10, 2024, killed the siblings' parents and younger brother, an area frequently targeted during the conflict.
- Mais contacted HaMoked, an Israeli rights group, to initiate reunion paperwork and secured Israeli passports for her siblings, ages 8 to 22, facilitating their departure.
- After enduring displacement throughout 2024, the siblings traveled from Gaza to Nazareth, where extended family members welcomed them with hugs and homemade food.
- This reunion involves one of more than 300 estimated "divided families" with members split between Israel and Gaza, a situation complicated by restrictive border policies.
