rima

Those that know Dembele best - and few do - say he changed after marrying his girlfriend Rima in Morocco in December 2021, and soon after he had a child.

French-Palestinian Member of the European Parliament Rima Hassan was at the port.

Over the last five days, Rima says she has witnessed "barbaric" scenes.

The violence has left Rima and her neighbours feeling abandoned and afraid in their own homes, as bullets and shells sounded off outside.

As Rima watched this play out, the lack of internet and power made it difficult to keep up with the unfolding events.
