The Wider Image: The Gaza twins whose whole life has

Palestinian twins Uday (L) and Hamza Abu Odah eat inside their tent where they shelter with their mother and siblings, in Mawasi area, in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, September 12, 2025. Uday and Hamza were born on 2 November 2023, less than four weeks after the Hamas attack that triggered Israel’s devastating assault on Gaza that has defined and encompassed their brief lives. They have lost their home and lived in tents and on the street. Their father was killed seeking aid and two brothers were wounded. They have suffered constant hunger, frequent bouts of sickness and repeated episodes of terrifying bombardment. Their mother Iman is frightened that the longer Israel’s assault goes on, the more they – and the new generation of Gazans – will be scarred. “We are afraid this war will never stop, that it has a beginning and no end,” she said.
