I hereby express my desire to leave the Gaza Strip safely, in an attempt to survive the current situation, which I can no longer endure or adapt to, due to the lack of viable means for my family and me to remain here.

I'm not ashamed to say I'm extremely hungry — signs of malnutrition, major weight loss, and constant dizziness have started to show.

Don’t normalize this.
Don’t accept this.
Don’t let it become routine.
Don’t let it fade from headlines.
Don’t let it pass without consequence.
Don’t let it happen again tomorrow.
Don’t grow numb to it.
Don’t stand with those who justify it.
Don’t stop demanding its end.
I’ve just finished watching the documentary “Gaza: Doctors Under Attack.”
Everything it shows aligns with what I lived through.
During the three days of my abduction in November 2023, I was denied all medical treatment—even after Israeli soldiers beat me in the face and stomach before bringing me to the detention facility, which I believe was Sde Teman, based on photos released later.
I was blindfolded and handcuffed the entire time, even when I was allowed to use the toilet—once a day. There was no water to clean myself afterward.
There were about 114 of us in that facility. Some detainees were assaulted simply for asking to see a doctor.
On the second day, we were all taken to what they called a “medical checkup.” But it wasn’t to treat anyone. It was just to ask if we had any chronic illnesses. When they removed my blindfold, a soldier stood next to the so-called doctor, aiming an M-16 rifle directly at my face. I was still handcuffed. I told them about the internal bleeding I had in my nose and the pain I felt after being kicked in the face. I told them about the severe pain I felt in my ear where I had a surgery a few months ago.
They didn’t examine me. They didn’t ask about my injuries. They didn’t offer a single pill.
What they gave me instead was a number.
A detainee number.
