Polls show a tight race. “You want us to litigate things that happened four…

By Ramadan Abed DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza (Reuters) – Gazan mother Rana Salah cradles her one-month-old daughter Milana in her arms in a sweltering tent for the displaced, and speaks of the guilt she feels for bringing her child into a world of war and suffering. “If it were up to me, I wouldn’t have gotten pregnant or given birth during the war because life is completely different; we’ve never lived this life before,” she said, speaking at a camp in Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip. “I gave birth twice before, and life was better and easier for me…
