Fidaa Elaydi

Malak Abdallahi had to overcome objections from an administrator.

Traveling back to Gaza, Fidaa Elaydi finally meets her uncle, who was released from Israeli jail as part of the prisoner swap in October. With his release, and the ability to spend time together, she says it changed the dynamic of her family.

Fidaa Elaydi will soon be meeting her uncle, recently released after serving twenty years in an Israeli prison, for the first time since she was a small child.

Fidaa Elaydi’s uncle has been imprisoned in Israel for more than twenty years, and his family in Gaza have not been able to visit him for the past six.
