Interview with Nafez Younis
02:59-03:16
In the beginning thanks to God, and I say in spite of the bombing of the mosque and in spite of all the destruction, I’ve heard that in Al-Musayrat there are no mosques available even in all of Gaza

03:16-03:25
And most of the mosques in Rafah have been destroyed, including this mosque “Al-Farouk” this old mosque that was built in 1954

03:25-03:50
And this is the second bombing of this mosque where in 1914 it was bombed, all of these conditions didn’t hold us back from performing the praying in this neighborhood. And you saw the huge number of prayers in the destroyed mosque.

03:51-04:28
We are going on praying even in tents or in the street and we thank god for everything. We do the dawn prayer despite the dangerous conditions we live.

04:29-05:00
Of course, it’s a sad situation but we have to make our prayers whatever it costs. Even if we will die we will do all of our prays wherever we are
