A Gaza Civil Defence captain attempts to reunite with his family following a ceasefire announcement. The journey highlights the hardships of displacement.
A captain in the Gaza Civil Defence unit seeks his family after a long separation. The war kept them apart for more than one year.
Then, leaders announced a ceasefire across the region. This news gave the family hope for a safe meeting.
The family packed all their belongings into bags. They started a long journey along the coastal road of Gaza.
They left the Nuseirat refugee camp behind. They had lived there to escape constant bombing for many months.
Meanwhile, Captain Moumen waited at the end of the road. He hoped to see his wife and children again soon.
The journey across the territory proved very difficult for the family. They walked through rough land and dangerous paths.
Also, the lack of phone signals made communication impossible. Moumen could not call his wife to check their location.
Hundreds of thousands of people crowded the roads at the same time. This massive movement made finding his family a hard task.
Still, the captain kept watching the road with great anxiety. He remained hopeful despite the chaos of the mass migration.
Finally, a new documentary film tells the story of this reunion. It shows the human side of the conflict in Gaza.
The film creators include Mohammed Sawwaf and Salah al-Haw. Ibrahim al-Otla and Mohammed Masharawi also worked on this project.
