Gaza CityA widow of 6 cannot reach $5,000 in her husband’s account.
Without functioning courts, widows cannot obtain the certificates that unlock inheritance.

“My husband’s brother seized my husband’s car without any legal right,” said Salma Abdel Hadi, a widow in Nuseirat.
She estimates the car could fetch $20,000, enough to move her children out of a tent.
