Palestinians in Gaza Reflect on One Year of Israel’s War With Hamas Oct. 7, 2024
The war has killed tens of thousands and devastated entire cities, leaving many in Gaza without a home and fueling a humanitarian catastrophe.
By Bilal Shbair and Hiba Yazbek Reporting from the Gaza Strip and Jerusalem.
Last October, Fadi Abu Kheir of southern Gaza had big plans. He was going to be engaged to the woman he loved. After they got married, he said, they would move in together, into an apartment that he spent years building.
“Now,” Mr. Abu Kheir, 24, said, “I am clueless about my future. I cannot even think how I can adapt to life postwar.”
It has been a year since the Hamas-led terrorist attacks impelled Israel to launch a retaliatory offensive in Gaza. For Mr. Abu Kheir — and, indeed, for Palestinians across the enclave — every day since, he said, has teemed with “sadness, depression and fury.”
The war has killed over 41,000 people, according to Gazan health officials, and devastated entire neighborhoods and cities, leaving hundreds of thousands without a home and fueling a humanitarian catastrophe.
More than 2 million people lived in the strip before the conflict. No one has been unaffected.
“We were so happy before this war,” said Maisaa al-Naffar, 20, of Khan Younis, breaking into tears as she recalled her first few weeks as a newlywed before the war began. She added: “I am not the person I used to be.”
Nine months pregnant, she is sheltering in a tent in southern Gaza.
“I miss my old life. I miss the days when we used to have fun or laugh at even the smallest things.
I miss my life when we had enough healthy food and snacks,”
Ms. al-Naffar said. “Today, everything has become a hell, full of dust and darkness.”
Throughout the enclave, similar stories abound. For Mr. Abu Kheir, the image from the war that lingers is that of a naked, lifeless woman lying in the street, blown out of a house that had been bombarded, he said. The conflict has killed two of his best friends, and displaced him and his family, he said. It also destroyed the apartment he was building, in the southern Gaza city of Rafah. The war, he said, has “destroyed my dreams.”

If you visit Japan, you might choose to travel around the country by shinkansen train. These high-speed trains connect the major cities of Japan. They are nicknamed “bullet trains” because they go very fast and have pointy noses like a bullet.
Bullet trains are a good way to travel for several reasons other than their speed. They are very punctual, often leaving on time to the second. They are also comfortable. All the seats face forward, and there is plenty of leg room. Most importantly, bullet trains are very safe. In their 35-year history, there have been only a few accidents and no deaths.
The only downside to bullet trains is that they are expensive. A ticket to travel to another city can cost almost as much as an airline ticket would. However, if you fly, you will land at an airport at the edge of a city. Train stations are usually right in the middle of a city. This means that it is often more convenient to take a bullet train instead of flying, because you will arrive exactly where you want to be.
( ) These trains are nicknamed “bullet trains” because of their speed and shape.
( ) The train that the author of the passage talks about is the shinkansen.
( ) The author says that one reason to take a bullet train instead of flying is because the bullet train is often much cheaper.
( ) To help travelers decide between a bullet train and an airplane, it would be most helpful for the author to add information about how many seats each one has.
Choose the alternative which presents the correct sequence, from top to bottom.
