For Palestinian Americans, there’s a sense of helplessness and hopelessness as many struggle to hear from their families in Gaza
For the unforeseeable future, Laila El-Haddad has one mission: To get the voices of her fellow Palestinians, along with their pleas for help, out to the rest of the world. From her home office in Columbia, Maryland, El-Haddad frantically juggled phone calls this week from journalists seeking her expertise on Gaza and Palestinian Americans trying to get the attention of their local elected officials.
“There’s no place safe here in the Gaza Strip,” Haneen Okal said in a recorded video sent to the AP via WhatsApp. “My kids are feeling so scared. ... Please help us get evacuated safely.” Many Palestinian Americans watched in agony this week as Israelis abroad rushed to travel to Israel following the Hamas assault, signing up to fight in military reserve units or administer aid on the ground. Palestinian Americans say they’ve never had the option to do the same.
