Difficulty: Summiteer (Level 3)
Eatedal Rayyan waited for this moment for nearly two years: a reunion with her husband in Gaza. She said her yearning for family had continued despite the destruction of the war.
Rayyan, 29, left Gaza with her mother and three children after suffering a leg injury that doctors warned could need amputation if left untreated.
After months of treatment in Egypt, Rayyan was able to walk again. Earlier this month, she, her mother and her children were among a small number of Palestinians allowed to return to Gaza after Israel reopened the Rafah border crossing.
Rayyan said she knew much of Gaza had been demolished in the war, but that re-entering still shocked her. Their family once had a big house in Gaza City, but it was destroyed in the war. Now, they live in a tent in a camp in Gaza City.
