Please consider supporting my friend Ibrahim’s parents evacuate to get medical treatment.
It’s been a very hard time for everyone, especially ill people.

Thank you. Every donation can make a difference.

Today, my mother cooked the first chicken since I left north Gaza.
I left north Gaza on November 19, the day I was kidnapped.

Sorry this is very disturbing. Do you see the clothes and the hangers? Can you hear the bustling life that took place before the air strike?
This is early this afternoon in the Frass Marketplace in Gaza City, second day of Eid.

In addition to being the head of Jabalia Police, Ridwan Ridwan has been in charge of organizing the food aid that enters North Gaza.
He was killed a few minutes ago in an air strike that also killed other family members and neighbors.

The breaking news about our death and our wounds and the decimation of our lives has become so familiar that it is not stopping even for a minute.

I look at my city. It lies in ruins. I imagine the heaps of concrete as puzzle pieces, but they are disfigured and there is no place for me to sit down and reassemble them.

Just as the very first hours of Eid enter Gaza, Israel bombs a house to the east of Jabalia Camp in north Gaza.
A whole family is buried under the rubble.
No Eid anywhere.
No life forever.

There is no way to celebrate. The true Eid is when families gather without any fear of being bombed in their houses, when there are candies for the kids.

After 1948, the Palestinian dream was to return to their houses in Yaffa, Haifa, Akka, Ramlah, Led, Nazareth, etc.
Now we are in 2024 and hundreds of thousands of Gazans who were forced to leave their houses in north Gaza for south Gaza are not allowed to return to their β€œbombed”…

I do not understand what is happening, but all the soldiers withdrew from the Gaza Strip except for one battalion, which is guarding the road that separates the north from the south of Gaza.

But of course they remain in the sky over us and in the sea.
