Quote
"We have the impression that our coming over was mostly a stunt. Belgium was the first country that received Palestinian children, that brought about a lot of attention. Also internationally. We are also enormously grateful to Belgium for it. But once on Belgian soil, that attention very quickly abated. Nobody can explain to us how things should go, we're left to our fate a bit. Other family members couldn't come over, it is unclear about going back or staying here.. everything is very strange."
