Her little laugh dissolves the pain of a wait that lasted more than two decades. Arouqi repeats the word &#8220;Baba&#8221; (&#8220;Daddy&#8221;) to himself and to her, as if training his heart for the role he has always dreamed of.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1316\" data-end=\"1679\">Beaming despite years of exhaustion, he says: \u201cJanna has truly made us forget all the pain of war, death, hunger, and thirst. After 23 years of waiting, God has given us this blessing.\u201d Speaking to Anadolu Agency, Arouqi shares how the thought of adoption lingered with him and his wife during the past 23 childless years, though they never acted on it seriously.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1681\" data-end=\"2075\">&#8220;It crossed our minds occasionally,&#8221; he says, &#8220;but after witnessing the genocide, seeing entire families wiped out with only one survivor left, the idea grew stronger. Especially when we saw the suffering of innocent children in this war.\u201d He added, \u201cI followed news of children who survived alone after their entire families were killed\u2014sometimes babies brought to hospitals with no one left.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2077\" data-end=\"2501\">\u201cEach time I heard of such a case, I would ask about the child, even just to hold them temporarily until family showed up. But understandably, relatives would cling tightly to the remaining children,\u201d he continues, his voice reflecting a mix of compassion and patriotic duty. \u201cThis wasn\u2019t just a humanitarian act; it was a national one. Many contacted me after our adoption experience, telling me they shared the same wish.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_20232\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20232\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20232 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/5660-1.jpg\" alt=\"Gaza children \" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/5660-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/5660-1-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/5660-1-768x461.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-20232\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Israeli war crimes in Gaza<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 data-start=\"2508\" data-end=\"2538\"><strong data-start=\"2515\" data-end=\"2538\">Devastating Numbers<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2540\" data-end=\"2986\">According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, over 39,000 children in Gaza lost one or both parents during the genocide, with nearly 17,000 losing both. These children face life without support in devastating conditions. In the face of this tragedy, community solidarity has emerged as a form of resilience, as hundreds of Palestinian families in Gaza have opened their homes to orphans\u2014rebuilding the social fabric amid destruction.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2988\" data-end=\"3290\">Arouqi recounts the moment that changed their lives: \u201cThe idea circulated among friends until one day we received a call from a doctor we know. She said a baby girl had arrived at the hospital with no known relatives. That may sound strange, but under our current conditions, it\u2019s become sadly common.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3292\" data-end=\"3625\">Smiling with gratitude, he says, \u201cAfter the call, we didn\u2019t think long. We didn\u2019t care about gender, age, or appearance. We just wanted to be a support and give the child parental love\u2014even more than one child, if needed.\u201d Describing their first encounter, he adds: \u201cShe was only about five days old. That\u2019s when everything changed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3627\" data-end=\"3913\">To finalize the guardianship in accordance with Islamic law, the Ministry of Social Development required the baby to be breastfed by a relative. \u201cMy cousin was the first to nurse her,\u201d he explains. \u201cSo she gained siblings through nursing, and her first milk-brother was Nahid Azzayzeh.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3915\" data-end=\"4231\">On May 24, Palestinian Minister of Social Development Samah Hammad told Anadolu Agency that adoption typically gives priority to extended family members, \u201cbut for some children, no relatives were found at all due to the genocide that wiped out entire families.\u201d She described the suffering in Gaza as \u201cbeyond words.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4233\" data-end=\"4469\">Rami smiles as he recalls their first drive with Janna: \u201cIt was an indescribably joyful day. It was the first time we felt like a real family.\u201d In their humble home, he embraces her, repeating the word &#8220;Baba&#8221;\u2014still in awe of the moment.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18137\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18137\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-18137 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/555-11.jpg\" alt=\"According to Palestinian health authorities in Gaza, more than 52,800 people have been killed, many of them women and children.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/555-11.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/555-11-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/555-11-768x461.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18137\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Israeli war crimes Gaza<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p data-start=\"4476\" data-end=\"4909\">On March 16, UNICEF warned that children in Palestine live under extremely distressing conditions, drowning in fear, anxiety, and trauma from lack of safety and support.
