Blog Post Posted January 23, 2009, 10:32 am by Fairouz

I am trying to leave the country.

Fairouz: "I used to be frightened, but after the first two weeks of war, I was not scared anymore. I was careless. I don’t think that there will be a solution for this situation. I am trying to leave the country.

"It had a great impact on the lives of children. The first words that babies say are 'bombing' and 'Israelis'."
