Gaza- In a small alley between the rubble of the houses in Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip, the seven -year -old Mohamed Hegazy lived his most beautiful day since his return from the harsh displacement in the southern Gaza Strip, his father renovated the walls of the devastating house, and allowed him to finally run in the alleys of his neighborhood and among his friends.
However, it did not occur to his mind that a deadly ambush in the form of an Israeli bomb planted between the rubble would refer his life to pieces of the dark night, after the child carried it while he was having fun and trying to discover it in his two little hands, before he exploded in his face, without knowing that it would extinguish the light in his eyes.
“Who took my eyes?”
On the impact of the cries of the children, Abu Muhammad rushed to find his son drowned in his blood, bleeding the blood from his eyes, stretching without mobility, “I immediately learned that his eyes were injured, fell on the ground, and lost the feeling of everything”, describing the father to Al -Jazeera Net that difficult moments, browned his tears in his eyes.
In Al -Ayoun Specialized Hospital, the medical diagnosis came harsh, “The right eye must be removed immediately, while the left is a little hope that does not exceed the light of light that it may remain on a part of Muhammad’s eyesight, provided that urgent surgical intervention.”
But they are complex surgeries that are not available in the besieged city, and in order not to dispel the child’s hope for vision, he needs to leave Gaza to carry out operations in the retina and cornea of the eye. The father comments, “Doctors told me that the time that passes is not in our favor.”
From the day of the injury, Abu Muhammad stopped his work, and he is devoting every moment to his son, who lost his ability to walk without focusing on him, and he is still asking to go to the street when he hears the voice of his friends who are having fun, and when he descends, he sits near them, trying to interact with their voices.
While they are interested in returning to the house, he always asks, “Baba, who took my eyes?
“My eyes and the eyes of my children”
In the Al -Shujaiya neighborhood, Wadi Tshami’s narrator was on the ground of the tent and was preparing to sleep when she penetrated the bullet of the “Kawad Kabter” plane, the fabric of the tent, and settled in its left eye.
After she helped to Al -Ayoun Hospital, Rawiya was hearing whispers around her, a muffled graying and hesitant phrases, without anyone telling her what she would happen to him, but she picked up the words of the doctors in English, so she understood the meaning immediately, she lost her left eye, and she will be emptied to keep her eyelids applied forever.
The infected occupation did not give the healing or accommodate the new reality that led it to him. Two days after leaving the hospital, the shells forced her to flee again, to carry her dressing, pain, and marketing her children and tents to a school yard in the Al -Daraj neighborhood, and a life begins with overlapping darkness that resembles anything before it.
There, we found it kneading the pasta with her hands, as hunger also spent the beds of mothers who invented an alternative to the stomach of the stomachs of their children, but the hunger was not the only dismay, for every time a shooting is heard, her children rush to cover their faces with pillows, as if they were sheltering from the memory of the bullet more than the bullet itself.
“I am tense all the time, I do not understand what I am in, I feel that I am always exhausting, my life turned upside down, and I only see darkness, in every sense.”
Rawiya returns to her memory for that day, carrying in her hand the bullet that referred her life a blackness in which she stares with a new blind, but she says without hesitation, “Thank God that she hit me and did not pour any of my children who were next to me asleep on the land of the tent.”
Time and impossible struggle
Al -Fajdon narrates their eyes or part of them, but the Director General of Al -Ayoun Hospital in Gaza, Dr. Abdel Salam Sabah, carries a broader and more deadly novel, as he says to Al -Jazeera Net, “Loss of sight in Gaza is not only related to the fragments of the war, but also the absence of the ability to treat.”
Since the first month of the aggression, the occupation targeted Al -Ayoun Hospital in Gaza City, the most important center for treating visual injuries in the Strip, where the occupation soldiers destroyed the exact devices in it, and the services stopped, and medical cadres found themselves without tools.
“We partially reopened the hospital at the lowest possible capabilities, but we did not expect this flood from cases,” says Sabah, speaking about thousands of patients whose care stopped for several months.
Even today, Sabah is estimated that more than 1500 Palestinians have lost their eyes since the beginning of the war, either due to direct injuries, or as a result of chronic complications that could have been remedied if care was available.
It also warns of the loss of more than 4 thousand other patients with their eyes during the next few months if they do not receive the necessary care and treatment, especially with the complete absence of laser devices necessary to treat meshopathy, internal bleeding, and eye pressure.
The remaining medical cadres in Gaza are not only a war against blindness, but they are fighting time and impossible together, as more than 1,200 patients are waiting for a long list of the necessary surgical intervention, while hospitals have sufficient materials except to perform 200 surgeries only.
Al -Jazeera Net wandered in the corridors of Al -Ayoun Hospital, in which the smell of aggression was spread. The destruction here was not a coincidence, nor the trace of a stray shell. Other device after the other, very carefully damaged, bullets in the heart of the screens, and in the middle of the control panels.
“We waited for these devices for many years, it was a dream, which is very expensive, and it arrived only three months before the war, and now any of them can be fixed,” said Tamer Al -Madani, Director of Warehouses at El -Ayoun Hospital for Al -Jazeera Net.
He is silent a little before he continued, “This is a intentional destruction, who premeditated and monitored, not only the goal of sabotage, but also neutralizing the lives of thousands of Gazans to live in complete darkness without being able to save them.”
