The mother explained that her daughter did not know they would be transferred and where she would go later. "She has no warm clothes, she didn't know they would be moved," she said. "The lawyer said Naama was quite worried. I asked her how the place was and she said the place was not anything. She was gentle with me, it's worse than before."
