Iranian Fisherwoman Recounts Life Turned Upside Down by War
Khadijeh Bandari, a 28-year-old fisherwoman from Iran’s Hengam Island, tells Al Jazeera how US and Israeli airstrikes upended her family’s fishing and tourism livelihood. She describes the fear, displacement, and destruction that have forced islanders to flee, while some still risk their lives to fish. She calls for replacing lost boats, repairing homes, and restoring security so residents can return to a normal life.
