I understand what the children of Gaza must be going through, because as a child, I went through the same thing.
The sound of gunfire and shells whistling through the air; the smell of smoke after they struck; tracer bullets in the night sky; the fear; the pain; the loss โ these things have stayed with me throughout my life.
I know the smell, the image of war. I know what war means.
When my mother heard gunfire at night, she would make us sleep under the bed, with more mattresses on top of the bed, in the hope we might be protected if a shell fell on our house โ the motherโs instinct to save her kids.
I also understand what the parents of Gaza are going through, because in 1998, when war returned to Ethiopia, my country, my children had to hide in a bunker to shelter from the bombardment.
I experienced war both as a child and as a parent. I know how the children are feeling, and I know how the parents are feeling.
The children and parents of Gaza and Israel want and need the same thing that my family wanted and needed: peace and security. @DrTedros

This is Elizabeth El-Nakla. She is my mother-in-law. A retired nurse from Dundee, Scotland. She, like the vast majority of people in Gaza, has nothing to do with Hamas. She has been told to leave Gaza but, like the rest of the population, is trapped with nowhere to go.
@M3RSP@mdfetters I'm shocked and saddened by this heartbreaking news. Dr. Fetters is one of my favorite #mixedmethods scholars and authors. I'm forever indebted to him for his kindness, support and mentorship during a workshop a few years ago. My sincere condolences to his family and friends ๐ข๐ค
