Winds of war still blowing through Gaza's rubble

Nicholas Kristof, New York Times News Service, Gaza City

Transcribed from the clipping

Rabah, an eight-year-old who wants to be a doctor, walks barefoot in near-freezing weather because he saves the shoes the UN gave him for school. Khadra Abed, 50: "We’ve had enough suffering." Halima Jundiya, 65: "We don’t want Hamas to fire rockets. We don’t want another war." Ahmed Jundiya, 14: "War made us feel we will die anyway, so why not die with dignity." Aya Abit, 24, whose husband in the West Bank has never seen their five-month-old: "I cry every day." Mohammed Telbani, whose cookie factory Israel bombed: "What I created in 45 years, they destroyed in less than two hours. What should I tell them? Thank you?"

Context added by this archive

Telbani is the same factory owner named in the 2014 clipping from the Republican and Herald — one Palestinian businessman, two American papers, a year apart.
