“We are still alive through small exchanges. Yesterday, we struggled for sugar, and tomorrow we will replace him with bread, nothing lasts,” so I describe Kholoud, the husband of one of the three Gazans, part of the suffering caused by this war.
With their bold and influential words, it is presented Virtual andIsraa and Sarah a glimpse of the suffering of the daily survival in Gaza in light of a suffocating siege of aid, and their diaries paint a vibrant image of steadfastness that is tested by hunger, displacement, and the shadows of continuous conflict, and reveal the exceptional measures that ordinary people take when the most basic elements of life become a long -standing luxury.
This can be an introduction to a report prepared by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz on the lives of 3 Gazans in light of the siege, war and hunger:
- First, Zahir (33 years) is displaced to Khan Yunis, south of Gaza:
An apparent life is a hard search for sustenance amid a sharp rise in prices and scarcity of food. After he was able to support his family in dignity, he now spends hours bargaining even on spoiled vegetables.
He feels the severe impotence, seeing the constant flight of Israeli marches in the sky, and carries in himself a deep sadness for the loss of his fetus, and the scene of his pregnant wife, Kholoud, during a bombing after fleeing from their house in the north in search of safety.
And still immortalize psychologically and physically, and the thinner of their 4 -year -old son, Youssef, is a permanent source of concern. Simple necessities, such as the use of a joint bath, require long waiting and generate a feeling of guilt.
Staying depends on small and bartering exchanges between basic things such as salt and sugar and continues to follow the news of Kholoud on the phone, and its days end while they are in a grief from the continuation of the bustle of marches and the desperate search for anything to secure the next day meal, which highlights the fragility of the living situation, so even obtaining corrupt food is now a victory in his daily struggle to preserve the life of his family.
- Secondly, Israa, 33, is displaced in the Nuseirat refugee camp, central Gaza:
Israa’s life is characterized by an uncompromising struggle in order to survive in light of the harsh conditions of displacement, it is a Palestinian refugee who came from Egypt to Gaza in 2005, so she enjoyed a sense of belonging to the ancestral land, but now she suffers from the shock of the ongoing air strikes, in a flagrant contradiction with her previous dreams of studying information technology.
Sarah spends her days in arduous tasks such as bringing salt water for cleaning and waiting in long lines to get scarce drinking water. Sadness squeezes her heart as she talks about her husband’s loss of his job and what she provided to them from the cream.
Cooking is a daily challenge, as it depends on scattered firewood, and meals are often meager of boiled pasta or lentils for her and her three children.
Israa bears the burden of supporting her children, chasing her memories of past wars and current deprivation, and despite her efforts to seek help on the Internet, she feels that the world has been tired of their ordeal.
Her memories reveal her deep love for her children and her extreme fear of a future that does not seem to offer only more desperate suffering, and highlights that her hope in the simplest amenities, as a complete meal, highlights the difficulty of their situation.
- Third, Sarah, 27, displaced to southern Gaza:
Sarah lives in a crowded school affiliated with UNRWA with her great family, including the sons of her orphan brothers who sponsored them. Her life has turned upside down after the destruction of her family’s house in northern Gaza, forcing her to displace him many times.
Her daily struggle to survive revolves around securing food from a common kitchen, a task often does her younger brothers who face intense competition and sometimes go back empty -handed.
Sarah’s father, who was immersed at the beginning after losing his older son, resumed the task of searching for difficult food, cooking is a basic work that requires skill, such as igniting pieces of water hoses to ignite the fire, and bringing water is also an arduous task.
With the decrease in supplies, the basic hygiene became difficult, and more Sarah’s anxiety is the constant threat of Israeli strikes, while her pain is manifested in her inability to console her young orphan children.
The concept of buying food has become a stranger to it, and its replacement has been desperate consuming the desired levels, and its hope is to obtain aid to alleviate their hunger.
Despite the tremendous hardship, Sarah finds an unexpected sense of the ability to perform tasks that she never imagined, in a flagrant contradiction with her previous life as a hairdresser.
Indeed, these three novels from Gaza presents a strong and painful testimony about the human cost and the deprivation caused by the continuation of the war, and the notes of this group are a blatant call of the urgent need for humanitarian aid to reach Gaza, and to create permanent to alleviate the suffering of ordinary people stuck in the clutches of the crisis.
