When i was a boy in the gaza strip i used to dream of having my own cafe on the other side i want to open one by the beach in gaza on them but thats not possible with the situation as it is there and theres this money i didnt know my life would take me to berlin but now heres bulbul which means night and. Needlework todd to make a new home for himself in the rain but the situation in gaza has him increasingly concerned. Is think now all i can think about of seeing my family again the next war is coming because. If something happens to them before i can see them that would destroy me. I can tell that my family isnt doing well that they need me and my strength and i want to spend time with my family and be there for them in that manner for me that south of london on the band plan. Out of worry for his family nido made a dramatic decision. From one day to the next he sold his cafe. All he wants to do now is see his family in gaza. After what a shame but you come back one day right my god is god and some day im come that look let me give you a hug ive been. Over the past 10 years new doubts parents intensively lived through 3 wars in the gaza strip now the next conflict seems to lie ahead. In 2007 new down lost a leg as a result of the conflict between israel and the palestinians. He was working as a camera man when hes car was struck presumably by an israeli rocket. The car veered off the hill and his right leg was shattered. The accident happened at 10 in the morning that they sent me to the Dawson Medical Center in jerusalem i needed surgery right away and that wasnt possible in gaza one for. At the time nidal worked for an International News agency. They organized his treatment at the israeli hospital. But this new ferguson will never forget how the head doctor explained my options. They said my leg was destroyed so badly it couldnt be fixed now thats my kind of other spines and they could leave it the way it was but i wouldnt be able to walk anymore which to this moment but id have to spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair. Or i could have my leg amputated and then use a prosthetic and it was entirely my decision. I was struck speechless so i was lying in bed and i heard everything so i told him the 2nd option. I hope to inspire. Those i dont feel like i have limitations i enjoy my life more than most people i mean look at it its pretty cool and. I wanted to be able to stand on my own 2 feet and lead my life because that wouldnt have been possible in gaza so i came to germany. That was in 2010 a fellowship allowed no doubt to start a new life in germany upsides im just here i put a lot of time and energy into understanding the mentality of people here and the focus here. Especially in. Berlin is now my 2nd home. Now new delhi is saying goodbye to his 2nd time hes not sure if and when hell be back. But thats the best way to fall. It is when i fall and miss me i dont get hurt. Thats my im not sure whether to pack my winter clothes. Or just my summer ones. He doesnt know how long hell be away 3 weeks 3 months 3 years anythings possible. He sold his cafe but hes only someplace his apartment for a few weeks. Done so that i cant take it all. At 5 the next morning he takes a taxi to the airport. My heart. Im getting more and more anxious. Thats worth it. In theory only a few hours of travel time separate nidal from his family in gaza. The shortest route from germany to gaza is to fly into tel aviv and then drive to the areas crossing after the palestinian uprisings began new regulations were imposed in 2000 now palestinians need a special permit to cross the checkpoint and then nearly impossible to get thats why nidal is flying to amman jordan from there he plans to cross into the west bank then continue through israel in till he reaches gaza. Were going to agree not a commercial of the. Look on 5 pm monday on. This no problem in jordan he enters with his german passport then he goes to buy a few gifts for his family. Then he heads to the border with israel. That. Hell 1st need to pass through the jordanian and then the Israeli Border control which. Is in the middle of a phone in a half an hour will be at the border to palestine i hope we get into day for the school and call. Ins and we have to hurry lets go so to speak. Needle has a german passport will israel recognise it unless impasse since his palestinian by birth will they require a special permit to travel through. Israel plied for the limit just in case. On the jordanian side theres no problem they let him through with his german passport then he takes a short past ride through the no mans land to get to the israeli side. The lights of the city of jericho in the west bank flicker in the distance but 1st he has to pass through israels Border Control after a wait of 3 hours hes told that israel wont recognize his german passport and the israeli Authorities Say they never received his application for a permit to pass through the country. Need our has to go back to jordan. The city i dont understand most as. I just always come. Back in amman friends take him in. I was on friday. And i was in the room from there he tries to obtain permission to travel to gaza things are looking good but no one can guarantee that hell be allowed back out. On the back because a lot of them other argument theyre all saying youre returning a gun or if youre returning go to so book i keep hearing that word in hebrew has been happening now in arabic to advise all of. Us to. That means he might find himself stuck in gaza indefinitely i love that islam was the clue. I was fairly indeed i have 2 choices and i can sacrifice my freedom and honestly in my entire life. And take that risk and so i can see my family thats good for our own so weighs in on my end of the militancy. Then i might end up trapped there. With im far or i can choose my freedom from enough i had to turn back. And not see my family. Those are my 2 choices. A short time later newtown receives word that israel has cleared him for entry hes told to go to the border. And i presented my german passport yesterday they stamped it and wrote in my palestinian id number. Being among them and that means i could never enter this region as a german i know isnt gonna. Stop the fun freedom its absurd. In europe when you want to visit your family and the only decision is do you want to fly or travel by rail and i mean you have so i have this master card these are much i worked really hard for hour by the problem honestly i pay my taxes and they said but this passport is worth nothing here that the if any other german can enter and exit the region with no cry and complain will see. That it upsets me. Hes back at the Border Crossing. As he was told israel has given him permission to transit bot they want him to board a bus directly to gaza. Most nestle want us to get on this bus but i wont. So i wont enter. Hes afraid that if you boards the boss he wont be allowed to leave gaza. Hed be stuck far away from his life in berlin. No one here can or will give him a guarantee that hell be permitted to leave gaza or again in. The. New das conversation with israels Border Control gets a bit hated it times. When im in. Love but if you know. What im on. One of the board offices is also from germany hes only in israel to complete his military service that you dont want to. You have to understand if you have to understand me to. These families you wont let me out no ones looking you up yes you are turned off the camera. First thing that frustrated im so frustrated. Newtown returns to amman jordan. In germany hed already suspected that visiting his family in gaza wouldnt be easy. But he wasnt prepared for how upset he. Was is that a fox in israel so afraid of the. Bus is what is so dangerous about. Me but im not allowed to go to my own territory. Ive been in germany for years im just coming back to visit my family and i should be able to do that freely i cant understand. From israels point of view they have good reason for their stance. Show you a clip of it she was the former head of the civilian branch of coke at an i. D. F. Unit thats responsible for issuing travel permits the palestinians through israel. Lets not forget the gaza strip is controlled by a Terror Organization hamas ok it changes all the reality for us other israelis and for palestinians also understand that the people are caught in between. Forcibly at the end they are the ones who are paying the price of terror all on one hand and israeli policy against dato entity if he is inside his travel in gaza do you know what hes doing there can we know what who is doing what the what hes doing there. Ok thats what it takes to understand. That somebody from Terror Organizations in gaza like hamas Islamic Jihad isis are already in gaza somebody met him somebody is trying to convince him to do something somebody is trying to use it. To check those things it takes a little bit. Theres a lot of mistrust on both sides and that doesnt look set to change any time soon. Things that might be commonplace under other circumstances like visiting your family become an insurmountable hurdle. New doubts parents dont know yet that hes visited one take place. There are only 2 ways into gaza one is through the rafa Border Crossing in egypt thats usually closed the other is through the israeli crossing areas. Journalists diplomats aid organizations staff and palestinians with a special permit are allowed to enter. Once it becomes clear that needle wont be able to visit our camera Team Continues without him that way nadals family will at least get the gifts he purchased even if he cant be there himself. Around 2000000 people live in gaza and life is difficult here in 2007 the militant Islamist Hamas group took control of gaza israel and egypt established an economic blockade corruption and mismanagement on the palestinian side have exacerbated the situation. About half the Palestinian People rely on United Nations food deliveries. To. He tells family live in a quiet area to the south of gaza city. His parents unaware and mom had 6 sons 5 daughters and 18 grandchildren theyve been looking forward to visit. But instead of a homecoming they have to make do with a telephone call. From the only. One of them with a new head of the family and. We could hardly wait needles been gone for years and we were so happy when he said he visited. He checked in with me every day and told me he was going to visit maybe today maybe tomorrow. Now ive given up hope he said this was his last try for now. It didnt work i feel terrible i think its so painful. Whats going to be. Life in germany we didnt want it was this life because of. This. There is no choice in this boy this is what. We call the media. The food issue. He said. He could see what is. Being shown the. War 7 was 5 years the gifts are a welcome surprise. New tells older brother jamal has 2 children the youngest is a year and a half old nidal has only ever see. In him in pictures. Dalia is needles younger sister shes the only one who isnt married yet and lives with her parents. Out of the dolls 10 brothers and sisters 7 have University Degrees but none of them have an income. This sense of futility about the future is one reason why so many people want to leave gaza. Nido loves our food in gaza he especially loves it when i cook. He doesnt like it when the plates are empty and there are numbers of mother but i was not along as an adult mother is the only member of the family whos been given a permit to visit him in berlin offered to sponsor her eminently but she told him. Coming up russia. Dalia is just finishing school and for him to go out so just to remove. The situation here so difficult to can move freely. No person in our study now was going to study an altercation. And every few years there is another war. So as a good thing that he wasnt here. By way of the bad things i was there were. I love to see him. Achieving his dreams and with the thing you saw he won. And yeah everything he won just the. Women and. Thats how Jamal Littles oldest brother sees things too one way of also they didnt come to this with god hes just you all. Will be ignored as the president says. Enough in the stairs to seeing him know. The prison is a gift so money all over think as a gift. Not being as. Or were used. To seeing him we miss him since he said the years of all the religious said sir do you know what i was i was feeling fine softy. What you find. Many dream of leaving and seen the world but only a handful do. To most of the residents of gaza the reality is that they are stuck here the only way i ask is a permit from israel or egypt. Those permits can be applied for here at the Palestinian Civil Committee after an initial review they pass on selected applications to israel. Ordinary applications of processed on the 1st floor. Urgent cases for people who need medical treatment go up stairs whenever tensions rise between israel and hamas fewer permits to travel outside gaza are approved. Is male khatib is deputy head of the palestinian agency. He has access to nidal to file. And work with. What. We received a permit for him to return but he was afraid he wouldnt be able to leave dancers so he stayed in jordan. In principle its possible to get an exit permit but its very difficult entering isnt easy either amid the horde come on was once youre in gaza you cant count until the Israeli Security forces clear you one was nobody knows how long that will take but it could be a month 3 months or maybe youll never get an exit permit. That might. Israel says the lengthy process is necessary to ensure security. For israel its all a question of security for the bull bull family its a deeply personal matter.

Years up he didnt know that i tried everything but i couldnt make sure that id be permitted to leave gaza again my family also told me not to comment on this because they didnt want me to be trapped there they wanted me to be able to return to berlin like.
