Zak Hania was reunited with family in Ireland after being blocked from leaving Gaza last year
Emotional scenes at Dublin airport as Irish Palestinian man, Zak Hania, is reunited with his family after being blocked from leaving Gaza when his wife and his sons fled last year.
He arrived in Dublin Airport on Saturday and embraced his wife and children, fearing that he might never be able to see them again.
In a video on social media Mr. Hania is seen emotional and drops to his his knees when entering Dublin Airport before speaking.
Mr. Hania goes on to say in the video:
"I have love and respect for this land. Ireland is in my heart, as is Palestine."
"I don't have enough words to thank you and to thank all the people who are going to the streets and being in the streets for a long time and are making every effort to support the people in Gaza and to support Palestine and trying to stop this brutal genocide."
"I think Israel have taken off their mask and are showing their real face, and we are, as human beings showing our true humanity and our determination to stop this crime and to all be united, all of humanity to be united to stop this crime."
