JERUSALEM — Salma Tarabin is eight months pregnant, praying the war ends before her third child is born into a “poisoned” world.
The 30-year-old is exhausted, hungry and sick from drinking dirty water. For a month now, she has been sleeping on a sheet on a hard classroom floor with more than 80 other women and children, she told The Washington Post by phone. The men and older boys sleep outside in the courtyard of what was formerly a school run by UNRWA, the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees, in the southern Gazan city of Rafah.
