 The second photo, however, was no surprise at all. Adil, 38, a construction laborer: "This picture is about the border that was fixed in 1982, that separated Rafah into two parts. This began the suffering of our people." Ayman: "I talk to my friends there, you see, and we remember the days we spent together before I came here. I hate going there. I feel sick there." Yusef: "This picture reminds me that my sister calls us via the border. I don't know what else to say. It cannot be explained how a family comes to be divided and to talk along the border like this." Rula, 19, a college student: "All the people who see this leave weeping. You can't feel any freedom talking there, as you sense that you are watched all the time. Aysha: "The most sad thing I've seen at the border was one of the youths living here in Rafah [Palestine], when his mother died in Canada Camp Egypt, he couldn't get permission to visit. So he asked the funeral procession to pass by the fence. I saw him." |
