Tala Herzallah lives in fear amid the ongoing conflict.
Palestinian student Tala Herzallah captured life amid the Israel-Hamas conflict in video diaries.Tala Herzallah, a 21-year-old Palestinian student, had just started her final year at the Islamic University of Gaza“I was preparing myself for this moment of graduation," she told ABC News. "I was preparing myself for these happy moments, and they are all destroyed now.”
She continued, “I dream to Gaza to be free, to Palestine actually to be free. I dream that we all can come and go back to our homes.”Tala Herzallah"We have some food and some water that may be enough for a couple of days, but we don't know actually if we finish these supplies, what will happen? We don't know," Tala said in her first interview with ABC News.
"My brother have received a message that the building in front of them will be bombed. And we don't know if it's a rumor. We don't know if it's true." Tala said the ongoing conflict is a reminder of what Palestinians called the "Nakba" or "catastrophe," when in 1948 they were forced off their lands or fled en masseTala and her family followed the evacuation order from the Israeli government, fleeing her home in Northern Gaza and moving south.She says she was nearly bombed en route.
Tala said the time it takes to get people out from under the rubble makes it difficult to save those who are injured: "He or she will be killed because of the time they take to get them out.""In just one night, we lost them all."A Palestinian university student documents the terrors of living in Gaza amid conflict.Tala and her family – her father, mother, brother, his wife and their two children – have moved to the nearest hospital, as their home is no longer safe.
