More than 2,000 Palestinian refugees have arrived in Australia since the war in Gaza began. They are worried about their families left behind in a war zone.

"I know that most of Australia's population are refugees," Shahrazad said.

"That's why they must empathise with us more than the people of any other western country because they lived through oppression, injustice, colonisation, wars, famine, and disease.”

"Everything I just said, we have in Gaza."
