Last night, my three-year-old son woke up drenched in sweat, as if he'd just moved a mountain. He asked if I could turn on the fan; he just wanted any breeze to ease the heat.
It's 3:00 AM now.
There's no electricity in the entire city. Electricity here is a luxury compared to the death, bombing, and hunger. I was going to tell him we only get electricity for two hours a day, and that's all I have to run the fan.
But he wouldn't understand.
I went to the kitchen and got a plastic dish and started fanning it. He felt a little better and fell back asleep. After a few minutes, I felt paralyzed from fanning him and stopped. He woke up and begged me to continue!
I started fanning him again, and he fell asleep.
I'd stop, and he'd wake up again. The only solution now is to go up to the roof, despite the mosquitoes and other insects. I carried him up, and he fell asleep immediately in the cool air. But the mosquitoes were still there, making our night even more miserable.
A Thousand Hells in Gaza
Some citizens in other countries are outraged by a one-hour power outage. We in Gaza have been without electricity for three years, and not only that, but we are also being killed.
The City of Oblivion
We live in the City of Oblivion. No human being can live without electricity, but it's not a city the world would fight for. This city is miserable. All they can offer you is a heartfelt prayer and a sad emoji.
