Mum's joy after Salford woman trapped in Gaza finally allowed to leave
manchestereveningnews.co.ukThe mother of a Salford woman has said she is “beyond relieved” after her daughter was finally able to flee war-torn Gaza. Zaynab Wandawi, 29, a British national, travelled to Gaza at the beginning of October with her husband, who is British Palestinian, and his relatives for a family member’s wedding before the Israel-Hamas war erupted.
Ms Wandawi, an English language teacher, and a group of 12 family members – 10 of whom are British nationals – attempted to cross the border into Egypt previously but were told their names were not on the list.
However, on Monday Ms Wandawi was able to cross into Egypt with her husband, mother-in-law, sister-in-law and five of her brothers-in-law.
Two of her brothers-in-law stayed in order to help another family member leave. READ MORE: Mother of Salford woman stuck in Gaza tells of her 'living nightmare' READ MORE : The top stories across the M.E.N.
