The couple and their families were filled with joy at the arrival of the twins, especially since they were anticipating their new life that would be filled with the laughter of children, before the Israeli army took away this joy early. As Mohammed rushed out of his house on Tuesday morning, happy about the dat e of receiving his children's birth certificates, he received a phone call informing him that the Israeli artillery stationed east of Deir al-Balah city had targeted the apartment that was housing his displaced family. A quick call turned Mohammed's life upside down, prompting him to rush to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, his heart pounding with fear and anxiety for the fate of his family. Muhammad arrived at the hospital, his face pale and his heart beating rapidly. He held the birth certificates of his two children in his hands, hoping to hear news that would deny what had happened to him and put out the fire in his heart, and reassure him about the fate of his wife and two children. As soon as he saw his family standing at the doors of the morgue inside the hospital, he broke down crying bitterly, could not control himself, and lost his nerves from the shock that was greater than his mind and heart could bear. 'I just issued the birth certificate for Aysal and Aser, they were born just two days ago… I swear I'm not lucky,' Abu Al-Qumsan says, looking at the official certificate that would prove the arrival of his two newborns. He added, crying bitterly: 'Two days ago, Jumana gave birth to them. I was outside the house to complete the official procedures and bring the birth certificate. Aser and Aysal were born on August 10. Yesterday, I officially registered them at the Palestinian Ministry of Interior. Today is the date to receive the birth certificate.' Source: Maan News Agency
