Mustafa and Nesma al-Borsh’s wedding party was, understandably, a modest affair, considering the conditions in the Gaza Strip.Nesma went to a beauty salon, rented a white dress, and took some photos with her groom, Mustafa. The ceremony and party were held in a tent in eastern Gaza City’s neighbourhood of Tuffah, with only 40 people in attendance.
“I won’t say it was the wedding day I had always dreamed of, but given the harsh conditions we are living under, we tried to steal a few happy moments, and we did,” Nesma said.
Those happy moments were stolen from Mustafa and Nesma.
As last Friday’s celebration wrapped up, Israeli shelling hit a building next to the tent.
The targeted site was a vocational training facility run by Gaza’s Ministry of Education, but had been converted into a shelter during the war. The couple had been planning to live there after the wedding.
Flames rose from the site; dust, smoke, and screams filled the area.
The newlyweds stood in shock, unable to comprehend what was unfolding around them, as their wedding day turned into a tragedy.
