  If Gaza Could Speak... I don't think Gaza would ask the world to feel sorry for her. She would tell you that she was once full of life. Children played in her streets, families gathered for dinner, and every home held a story. Then she would tell you what happened. She would tell you about the homes that became rubble, the people who never came back, and the memories left behind. And before she stopped speaking, she would say: "Don't remember me only because of war. Remember t...

  Do you think we don't love life? Do you think the people of Gaza were created to die? Do you think we have no feelings? Do you think we are inhuman? This is the image that Zionist ideology tries to paint of the people of Gaza. But I must tell you the truth. We love life. We love every detail of it. We love the morning, the sea, children's laughter, and our simple dreams. Despite the hell we live in, we remain steadfast. We still believe that we are human beings with enough humanity...

  Gaza City has become one of the most densely populated places in the world, after more than two million people were forced into an area of no more than 100 square kilometers, following the Israeli army's control over nearly 70% of the Gaza Strip, leaving the population crowded into only about 30% of its land. The tragedy does not end with this overwhelming overcrowding. This remaining area is almost completely deprived of every basic necessity for life. Most families are living in worn-out...

  During the seventh displacement from Rafah to Al-Mawasi, where the city was being evacuated in preparation for its later destruction. While praying Fajr in the tent, I heard a strange rustling sound near my books lying on the ground. The rustling intensified, and fear gripped my heart, quickening its rapid beating. I turned my head to the right and then to the left, glancing behind me. It was the first time in my life I had ever seen a real scorpion. Its slimy body gleamed in the light of my p...

  I sit now on a broken chair, my laptop resting on my lap. The heat of the device, and the heat of the weather, stings me. In this weather, the tents are ovens cooking the bodies of the displaced. I'm trying to organize my new literary work. My wife calls out to me in an angry tone: "Get up and light the lighter, or buy another one." Ignoring her, I continue writing. The heat stings me, and with it, the impossible demands. A lighter in Gaza is an impossible request?! Yes. The...

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@israajamal/116928712546304006 My children were born to live, not to die under bombing and fear. They are not just numbers; they are souls who deserve a chance at life. Since their birth, I have done everything I can to provide them with the most basic right: a safe life like any child in this world. I am not asking for the impossible. I am only trying to save their lives and give them a chance to survive in a reality where survival has become a daily battle. Your...

  I never imagined that securing a pill or a meal for my child would become my greatest ambition! 💔 As a mother/father, my heart breaks when I look into my children's eyes and all I can offer them are promises of patience. Under the current circumstances, every day is a battle to obtain the basic necessities that every child deserves. The lack of medical care, malnutrition, and the absence of the most basic rights weigh heavily on my little ones every second. We are struggling to survive, str...

  My phone occasionally replays images from its stored memory, and I wish it hadn't shown me this one! How wonderful it is when a picture flashes before your eyes, bringing back moments of happiness and gatherings with loved ones, a genuine smile from the heart spreading across your face. But this picture didn't bring a smile; instead, it transported me back to the depths of the starvation war in northern Gaza, to days of loss, hunger, and displacement, and to the pain that has settled i...

  We are not absent here, but the truth is that we have exhausted all words. For more than two and a half years, we have been screaming without pause, writing, documenting, and telling everything we have been through, and everything that was taken from us, word by word, in the hope that somewhere in this world there would remain something willing to listen. But nothing changed. The genocide did not stop, the massacres did not stop, the famine did not stop. And here we are today, on the verge of...

  #For those outside Gaza… Read, understand, and share. Many people outside still can't believe what's happening in Gaza, or think it's confined to a specific area — and we've seen this a lot on social media. But the truth? The aggression has destroyed Gaza from north to south. Gaza today isn't a city; #Gaza today is the remnants of life. There's no "living" in Gaza… only a "struggle to survive." Houses are rubble. Streets are graveyards. Elect...
