Quebec families struggle to keep contact with loved ones in Gaza [Video]

Mohammed-Sharif Alghusain’s sister in Gaza is safe for now — but he says the immediate danger is never gone. 

It’s been more than one year since Hamas launched its brutal Oct. 7 attack on Israel, triggering a massive and unrelenting military response and a humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

Across Quebec, people with family in the enclave have been scrambling to reach their loved ones as the death toll rises.

With the war widening, they say they’re even more worried the next phone call could be the last.

“She’s alright until now, until we’re speaking, but you never know what’s going to happen tomorrow,” he said.

She’s trapped in Gaza with her husband and their five kids, along with Alghusain’s extended family.

He was brought to Canada on Nov. 7 by the federal government with his wife and two children.

Alghusain’s eight-year-old daughter Suha has type one diabetes and needs medication.
