A Michigan man recounted the fear and desperation he and his wife faced while trying to flee Gaza amid the war between Israel and Hamas
A Detroit-area couple trapped in Gaza like hundreds of other U.S. citizens described the roar of bombs and the fear of not making it home after the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war. Unable to leave, Zakaria and Laila Alarayshi hunkered down. “I was crying,' Zakaria Alarayshi, 62, told reporters Wednesday at the Arab American Civil Rights League offices in Dearborn, Michigan. “Everyone was scared. Bombs everywhere. When I go to sleep, we cannot sleep.
Then, they fled to the home of his wife's family. Sleep was scant, as was water and food. Often they only had cake to eat and tea to drink. There was no electricity. “I have my money, but we cannot buy nothing,” he said. “No food, no water, no nothing.” Alarayshi said he was unable to get answers from U.S. officials and reached out to the Arab American Civil Rights League for help. Reaching safety was exasperating.
