Sabreen Wael Abu Jazar had just got married.
The wedding had taken place in Turkey during February. Sabreen, 23,
had traveled there – via Egypt – after leaving her hometown of Rafah in
southern Gaza.
She and her new husband – also from Gaza – were only able to spend
three weeks together. He had to leave for Belgium, where the couple were
hoping to build a better life.
As Sabreen did not have the identity documents needed for entering
the European Union, she would have to undertake a highly dangerous
journey so that she and her husband could be reunited.
