The twins were born less than four weeks after the Hamas attacks that triggered Israel's devastating assault on Gaza that has defined and encompassed their brief lives, during which they lost their home and lived in tents and on the street. Their father was killed seeking aid and two brothers were wounded. They have suffered constant hunger, frequent bouts of sickness and repeated episodes of terrifying bombardment. Reuters-Yonhap
