Israel was hit by a large-scale raid by the Palestinian militant organization Hamas on the 7th and immediately launched retaliation with multiple air strikes on the Gaza Strip, resulting in the deaths and injuries of thousands of innocent civilians, including young children. Faced with the risk of being hit by air strikes at any time, a father living in Gaza decided to flee his family of nine to the south and north respectively. Before leaving, he tied a blue-purple bracelet on each of the hands of his wife and children, while comforting the children: “So I can recognize you if something happens.”

The Gaza Strip has been ravaged by ruthless fighting. According to Palestinian health department statistics, since Israel launched its counterattack, 6,546 people have died, including 2,704 children. Because the number of deceased persons suddenly increased so much that their identities might not be immediately identified, the unnamed deceased persons had to be buried in groups following medical staff took photos, numbered them, and left blood samples.

Ali El-Daba, 40, who lives in Gaza, moved his family of nine into a shelter to escape the war. In an interview with reporters, he said that in order to prevent all his family members from being killed in the Israeli bombing, he decided to disperse. The risk caused his wife Lina to flee to northern Gaza with their two daughters and two sons, while he and his three children stayed in Khan Yunis in the south.

A family of nine was forced to take refuge in two places. No one is sure whether they will be separated for life or death, and whether they will see each other once more in the future. According to a report from Yiping News Network, Ali El-Daba has already done so. Preparing for the worst, he bought a blue and purple woven bracelet on the street, tied it on the hands of all his family members one by one, and comforted the children while tying them. He said that he has seen too many dead people in the past few days, most of them unrecognizable. He hopes that if something unfortunate happens in the future, this bracelet can help family members identify the bodies, so that the dead family members can be buried with names instead of just serial numbers.

As the number of Israeli air strikes increases, many Palestinian families choose to evacuate. In addition to wearing bracelets, some parents in Gaza will write the names of their children on their legs and arms, in order to protect their children in the future if something unfortunate happens to them. It can help identify people when they are killed.
