July 2, 2009
Yousif Rizq was born in an Israeli jail, to his incarcerated Palestinian mother, Fatima Rizq. Fatima had accompanied her niece who travelled to Israel for treatment in May 2007.
Whilst they were waiting to cross into Israel in Beit Hanoun checkpoint in Gaza, they were arrested. She had thought that it was a mistake on behalf of the Israelis because of her name but to no avail. She was surprised to find out she was pregnant but the Israelis did not take this into consideration when sentencing her. Yousif's father, Mohammad Rizq, is still unable to visit his son because the Israelis did not allow him due to him being a resident of Gaza.
He has only seen pictures of his son from the Red Cross. The source of this information is an article in Al-Akhbar, a Lebanese newspaper (in Arabic).
