Yesterday was a very distressing day for the family as the tanks rolled into Deir Al Balah across the yellow demarkation line. The drones were firing there also
A heartfelt message from Dalia, a mother of two small children.
I'm a mother who has survived war with my two very young children, but surviving does not mean we are safe.
The past days have been unbearable. Continuous gunfire surrounded us day and night. There was no moment of calm, no place to hide. Our baby, Karim, became sick. Every time his condition worsened, I froze in fear—not because I didn’t want to help him, but because I couldn’t. The streets were deadly, the night was too dangerous, and there were no services, no medicine, no help.
I spent days trying to treat Karim with nothing, just praying he would survive without forcing me to step outside and risk my life and his.
On top of all this, the cold has been merciless. The weather is freezing, and we have nothing to protect our children from it. At night, the cold creeps into our bones while our children shiver beside us, and we can do nothing but hold them and hope morning comes.
Our little girl Hala shook from fear. Her small body trembled with every sound of shooting. She kept asking me, “Are we going to die?” Then, with the innocence that breaks my heart, she whispered, “Mama, I want toys.”
How do you explain war to a child who only wants to play?
How do you comfort a baby when you have no way to protect him?
We are exhausted. We are terrified. And we are begging the world to see us—not as numbers, but as parents trying to keep their children alive in a place where life has become impossible.
will israel become a pariah state BEFORE taking the final step to global defense tech "player"? or will the int'l community's short-term memory set in soon and let all the culprits off the hook? with all the customers israel already has, i'm afraid, option #1 won't come to pass ...
Disgusting human beings
So horrible. These are not humans.
Arms tested against unarmed people mostly women and children and elderlies!!
Will our "ironclad" support for Israel end if they start cutting into our share of weapons sales?
