After about 83 days of war waged by Israel on Gaza, the painful scenes and severe suffering experienced by the residents of the Gaza Strip, especially women, children and the elderly, continue to unfold.
A video clip showed a Palestinian woman sitting on the rubble of her destroyed home, while a number of young children sat around her, saying, “This is my situation. I don’t have my current Esther pin. I don’t have a shekel in my pocket. I don’t have a husband. I have 3 daughters.”
She added, “I am sitting here in the street as you can see. Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds. God is sufficient for me, and He is the best disposer of affairs over every one who sees us and remains silent. Something beyond imagination. No mind or human being can imagine it. There is no logic, O world.”
Another scene of suffering was revealed in a video clip of an elderly Palestinian in a Gaza hospital placing a blanket on his granddaughter’s shoulder and body, trying to warm her from the cold after they survived a bombing by the Israeli occupation.
The grandfather asked his granddaughter while kissing her, “Are you cold, Grandpa?” Then the little girl answered him with the word “yes,” and the grandfather said, “Okay, keep warm.” Then he asked her, “Did your mother come? Did she talk to you?” The little girl replied: “Yes, I saw her. The last time I saw her was when we were leaving the house after the bombing.”
A video clip documented the tears of a child as she cried intensely, saying, “The Arab countries must stand with us. We are tired. We cannot continue. We are sleeping on the ground. We are praying to God that we will return home and the war will end before New Year’s. We hope so.”
Another video clip showed a displaced child in Rafah telling the story of the suffering of the war in Gaza, saying, “I am preparing our food with my brother to protect ourselves from hunger, and thank God in any case. My mother inhaled phosphorus when we were besieged in the beach camp. They fired 3 bombs at us, and she is now in the European Hospital.” “For more than 36 days, 12 of them were in intensive care.”
He added, “If my mother takes off her oxygen, she will die after 5 seconds, and I will lose my mother and become an orphan. My brother was also martyred in this war along with his four children. Is this normal for a 13-year-old child like me to pull his brother out from under the rubble? Is this right? Is this humanity?” “.
The video clips showed the difficult conditions suffered by the displaced people inside a school in Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip, where the displaced people line up in long lines to obtain humanitarian aid in light of the scarcity of resources they suffer from.
In another scene that shows the extent of the severe suffering that the people of Gaza are experiencing, a young man appeared in a video clip saying, “This is a cup of coffee that I divide over two days so that I can find it when I miss the taste of coffee.”
The Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip continues for the 83rd day, resulting as of Thursday in 21,320 martyrs, 55,603 injured, most of them children and women, massive infrastructure destruction and an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe, according to the Gaza Strip authorities and the United Nations.
