Before you lay your head on your comfortable pillow and bed, remember that here we sleep in the streets with nothing but a piece of cloth to protect us from bombings, missiles, and fire. Our children sleep hungry; a mother sleeps crying for her children who were killed; a wife mourns her husband who was taken from her; and a man grieves for his family that Israel has destroyed.
Here, we sleep to the sights of death and wake up to them. You watch us, and some of you engage with us, but by the next day, the images of our deaths are forgotten.
Thank you all for your messages and support, but nothing is worth the risk because tomorrow we will be forgotten.
Israel has dropped almost 80,000 tons of explosives - this means that Israel has dropped ~36 kilograms of explosives on Gaza for every man, woman, and child.

This is what genocide looks like.
“France does not recognize Palestine. Yet here I am with the Palestinian flag on my chest.”
