周一，在遭受战争蹂躏的加沙地带，至少10个家庭迎来了感人的团聚，这也是20多名在以色列与哈马斯冲突的混乱中早产的孩子们的戏剧性故事翻开新篇章的开始。
2023年11月，在加沙的希法医院，数十名被用铝箔纸包裹的早产儿为了抵御严寒而 desperate（不顾一切地）寻求保护，当时这家被以色列军队围困的医院已经耗尽燃料，无法维持救命的医疗设备运转，这一事件登上了国际头条。
在红十字新月会与联合国的协助下，一场行动将20多名弱小的婴儿转移至加沙南部边境，进入埃及接受紧急医疗救治。他们中的大多数都熬过了这场磨难，但由于以色列直至今年年初才开放边境关卡，而针对哈马斯的军事行动仍每日持续，这些婴儿无法返回加沙的家园。
因此，许多滞留在加沙的家庭——包括部分孩子的父母——一直没能与孩子相见。但这一情况在周一发生了改变。

“再过半小时，我就要第一次见到我的女儿了，仿佛今天才刚刚生下她。这种感觉难以用言语形容。”在加沙南部城市汗尤尼斯等待与孩子见面的母亲桑杜斯·阿尔·库尔德在接受哥伦比亚广播公司新闻采访时说道。
“我的心情十分复杂，”阿尔·库尔德说，“我害怕女儿认不出我们，或是不愿接受我们，但作为一名母亲，能再次与孩子团聚，我又感到无比幸福。”
2023年共有28名婴儿被送往埃及。其中7人不幸夭折，另有一些在之前的停火期间返回了边境，但加沙卫生部表示，周一共有10名婴儿乘坐巴士返回了加沙地带。少数父母设法带着孩子——如今已约两岁半——前往埃及，而他们的其他家人则留在了加沙。

孩子们在护士的陪同下返回加沙，其中两名护士在整个磨难期间一直陪伴着他们。她们帮助与留在加沙的家人保持联系，并向家人提供孩子们在埃及成长的照片和视频。
“别人都能亲手抱着自己的孩子，但我只能通过手机看着我的儿子，就像你现在看到的这样，”等待团聚时，一名患儿的父亲艾哈迈德·阿尔·赫尔什一边翻阅着儿子在埃及成长的照片，一边对哥伦比亚广播公司新闻说道，“我没法给他在埃及那样的生活。他现在已经两岁半了，我都是通过这些照片见证了他的成长。”
“我只见过我的孩子一次，就是在医院里，当时我带着他的母亲安葬了她，”阿尔·赫尔什告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，他说自己在战争中失去了12名家人。他的妻子死于弹片伤，但他们成功救出了孩子。“两年半后终于见到儿子，我很开心，但没有家人和挚爱相伴，我的快乐并不完整。我父亲一直盼着能见到这个孩子。”
加沙纳赛尔医院的儿科主任艾哈迈德·阿尔·法拉博士在孩子们抵达时对哥伦比亚广播公司新闻表示，周一标志着这些早产儿痛苦故事的最后一章。
“感谢真主，两年后他们终于回来了，父母们也认出了自己的孩子。看到家庭与婴儿团聚的那一刻，真的非常美好。”他说道。
但对这些家庭而言，即使这片遭受重创的巴勒斯坦飞地 technically（在技术层面）实现了停火，一场磨难的结束并不意味着斗争的终结。
“加沙的生活十分艰难，他没法得到在埃及时那样的照料，”阿尔·赫尔什对哥伦比亚广播公司新闻说道。
Premature babies who escaped war in Gaza finally reunited with families after more than 2 years

There was an emotional reunion for at least 10 families Monday in the war-ravaged Gaza Strip, and the beginning of a new chapter in the dramatic story of more than two dozen children born prematurely into the chaos of Israel’s war with Hamas.
In November 2023, at Gaza’s Al-Shifa Hospital, dozens of premature babies wrapped in aluminum foil in a desperate bid to protect them from frigid weather grabbed international headlines as the hospital, under siege by Israeli forces, ran out of fuel to keep its life-saving medical equipment running.
In an operation carried out by the Red Crescent, with help from the United Nations, more than two dozen tiny babies were moved across the southern Gaza border into Egypt for urgent medical care. Most of them survived the ordeal, but they were unable to return home to Gaza as Israel kept the border crossing sealed until early this year, with operations against Hamas still taking place daily.
As a result, many families stuck in Gaza — including some of the parents — had not been able to meet the children. But that changed Monday.

“Today, a half an hour from now, I will meet my daughter for the first time, as if I were giving birth to her today. It’s an indescribable feeling,” Sundus Al-Kurd, one of the mothers gathered in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis, waiting to meet their children, told CBS News.
“I have mixed emotions,” Al-Kurd said. “Fear that my daughter will not recognize us or accept us, and happiness as a mother reunited with her child once again.”
A total of 28 babies arrived in Egypt in 2023. Seven died and some had made it back across the border during previous ceasefires, but the Ministry of Health in Gaza said 10 were brought back to the territory by bus on Monday. A few of the parents had managed to join their babies — now about two-and-a-half years old — in Egypt, leaving the rest of their families behind in Gaza.

The children were accompanied on their return by nurses, two of whom had remained with them throughout their entire ordeal. They helped keep in touch with the families back in Gaza and provided them with photos and videos of the children growing up in Egypt.
“People carry their children in their hands, but I have been holding my son on the phone, as you see,” Ahmed Al-Harsh, the father of one of the children, told CBS News as he waited for the reunion, scrolling through photos of his son growing up in Egypt. “I won’t be able to provide him with this life [the one in Egypt]. He is two and a half years old now. I lived his life through these photos.”
“I only saw my child one time, in the hospital, when I took his mother and buried her,” Al-Harsh, who said he lost 12 family members in the war, told CBS News. He said his wife died of shrapnel wounds, but they managed to rescue her baby. “I am happy to see my son after two and a half years, but my happiness isn’t complete without my family and loved ones. My father was hoping to see my child.”
Monday marked the last chapter of the painful story for the premature babies, Dr. Ahmed Al-Farra, the pediatric director at Gaza’s Nasser Hospital, told CBS News as the children arrived.
“Thank God, after two years, they came back, and their fathers and mothers recognized them. It was really a very great moment to see families reunited with their babies,” he said.
But for their families, the end of one ordeal, even with a ceasefire technically in place in the decimated Palestinian enclave, does not mean the end of the struggle.
“Life is hard in Gaza, and he won’t receive the same care as he did in Egypt,” Al-Harsh told CBS News.
