一个巴勒斯坦家庭在多年战争中历经分离与丧亲之痛，最终在以色列与加沙的边界实现了重聚。
该家庭在2023年10月7日哈马斯袭击后做出艰难选择，决定要么全家离开加沙，要么全体留下 [1]。然而这个决定成为悲剧的开始。2024年7月10日早晨6点，一次空袭摧毁了他们位于努赛拉特的家园，造成父母和弟弟迈萨拉丧生 [1]。
失去双亲后，长女迈斯联系了以色列人权组织HaMoked，启动了寻求重聚的法律程序 [1]。由于以色列法律通常禁止巴勒斯坦配偶获得永久居留权，父亲原本无法随家人离开 [1]。为使兄妹能够进入以色列，幸存的孩子们需要进行DNA测试以证实亲属关系，并申请以色列护照和监护权命令 [1]。
经过近两年的艰苦努力，这个分散的家庭终于在2024年7月8日于克里姆沙洛姆过境点团聚 [1]。兄妹随后前往以色列城市拿撒勒与母亲的大家庭相聚 [1]。这个家庭共有8名兄妹，年龄跨度从8岁到22岁 [1]。
A Palestinian family torn apart by conflict found themselves back together when siblings crossed into Israel on July 8, 2024, nearly two years after their household was devastated by war [1].
The Al-Gharam family's ordeal began following the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack, when they made a collective decision to stay together in Gaza rather than scatter [1]. On the morning of July 10, 2024, an airstrike destroyed their home in Nuseirat, killing their parents and their brother Maisara [1]. The elder daughter Mais, who had been separated from her siblings, then contacted HaMoked, an Israeli human rights organization, to begin a family reunification process [1].
The legal path to reunion proved lengthy and complex. The siblings underwent DNA testing to establish their familial relationship and applied for Israeli passports and guardianship orders [1]. This process was necessary partly because Israeli law typically prevents Palestinian spouses from obtaining permanent residency, which meant their father could not have left Gaza with the family [1].
After nearly two years of bureaucratic proceedings, the younger siblings finally arrived at the Kerem Shalom crossing point on July 8, 2024, where they reunited with Mais [1]. The eight siblings, ranging in age from 8 to 22 years old, then traveled to the Israeli city of Nazareth to join their maternal family [1].
