My Family in Gaza: Stuck in a Vicious Cycle of Pain, Displacement and Death

I experienced the traumatic experience of displacement four times with my family in Gaza before I was evacuated alone to Ireland with the help of my Irish college.

No words can describe the fear that engulfs us when we see thousands of leaflets in our sky dropped from Israeli warplanes ordering us to leave for other places that are just as dangerous. It is a tedious and terrible process of packing everything we need, begging bus drivers over the phone (mostly with a feeble phone signal) to come and pick us up at any cost. Unfortunately, displacement and running from death became the daily routine of adults and children alike in Gaza.

When displaced, sniper bullets and indiscriminate heavy bombardment are not the only risks that face my family and other people. Another life-threatening problem facing people in Gaza is the sewage flooding the streets of Gaza after Israel deliberately destroyed most of the infrastructure. This led to the spread of fatal viruses and diseases like Poliomyelitis as announced by the Ministry of Health in Gaza.

It pains my heart that my beloved city Gaza has turned into an apocalyptic ghost city where innocent people, children and adults, are indiscriminately killed daily. It is shocking to see this becoming normalized and the extent to which the world has become desensitized. What happened to humanity and human rights?! When will we see a ceasefire and be able to hug and reunite with our families?! When will we wake up from this never-ending nightmare?

The Lifeless corpses of innocent Palestinians decompose in the streets of Gaza and under the rubble. These bodies become food for stray dogs. I wonder what hopes and dreams the person had before he was killed. Did it hurt? Was he scared? Was it fast or painfully slow?! Does he/ she have children? Does his/her family know?! Was he/she unlucky to be in the wrong place at the wrong time?! Most importantly, how does one decide what is a wrong place and a wrong time to be when every place and every time in Gaza is wrong?! Survival is nothing but a matter of luck in Gaza.

Imagining that this could be the fate of my family makes me go insane with heart-stopping fear!

With the increasing escalation in the region, hope for a ceasefire in Gaza fades away and I have to live every second of every day with the haunting thoughts that my family could be the next to leave this cruel world brutally. Therefore, I am exerting all efforts to get them out of Gaza and hopefully reunite with them in Ireland where I am continuing my studies.

I cannot do that without your help. Decide today to play a significant role in saving my family in Gaza including many children with a prosperous future ahead of them.

it's very much a natural thing. it always has been. unfortunately, while homosexuality is found in many species, homophobia is only found in one

Jaune: Please, why are you doing this? Nobody believes me-

Brother of Light: Silence. (Taps on scroll, Tosses) There's no way you're coming back after THAT comment. What a horrid boyfriend you are.

Brother of Light: Jaune. Happy birthday. Ugh. Not a lot to work with anymore, is there?

Jaune: Light.

Jaune: You've tormented me for every year of my life, and for a long time, all I wanted to know was why.

Brother of Light: Mhm.

Jaune: But lately, I've started thinking. Why do YOU think I'll keep sticking around for all of this? Why don't I just kill myself, right? That's why. You want to see how far you can push a person. I know what you do the rest of the year. You're gone, either threatening Remnant or some other world yet unknown. You KILL huntsmen and huntresses! But every year, you come back to me. So I'm going to tell you why I hang on, why I keep living despite everything you've done to me. To the people I love.

Jaune: I wake up every day and-

Brother of Light: (Creates hole in ceiling)

Brother of Light: (Creates flood in Jaune's home)

Brother of Light: (Walks out) No, Jaune. I don't care. See you next year.

THE END
