Heartbreak in Gaza, israel palestine conflict, A Ray of Hope?

Heartbreak in Gaza: The Persistence of the Physical Combat

Most of the time, misfortune is not only felt – it is felt most deeply at home. This Dr. Alab understands this only too well. She was assists the injured people at Alaka Hospital but fail to do so for her brother, Muhammad. As will be described, just one hour prior to the film’s commencement, an Israeli drone attack snuffed out his life and demolished their house. There is a lot that remains unheard in Gaza but the loss of the family is the universal wail.

Lives Shattered

There was a story of a family that disappeared in the night of the attack in Gaza. It was one of the worst form of murder, a mother and her six children were murdered as they slept. The mother is a staff member of a UN agency, and had primary infertility, which was treated by IVF. Two of the children were quadriplets, and there was an older sister, only a year and a half old: all of them were innocent. One cannot imagine that: What threat did these children posed?

The Battle for Survival

Israel has again declared new evacuation directives; the Gaza so-called ‘safe zone’ now covers only 10 per cent of the area of the strip. A large part of the area was destroyed long ago. The civil defense in Gaza alleges that 90% of its structures have been demolished. Due to a decrease in the size of the humanitarian zone to less than 20 km the civilians are compressed. As we saw, with aridity, there is a real likelihood of emergence of diseases which are exceptionally dangerous.

The key necessity, clean water, is vanishing. Currently, in the water supply system, two of the three major water tanks or water reservoirs and ten of the nineteen crucial water wells that meet the needs of more than 60 percent of the population are out of commission. It’s not just a war ofuien; it’s a war of existence.

The Human Cost

The al-Noor refugee camp has suffered more losing several of its children to the Isreali bombs. Negotiations for a cease-fire are at least some hope. These discussions which are slated to resume in Cairo are important. Palestinians have borne the brunt for months. Women and children have been the most affected in the process and most of the deaths reported in the conflict have been of women and children. According to UNICEF, it stated that children in this conflict are dying, at an alarming rate never recorded before.

Health policymakers are worried as diseases such as polio could rise in cases among children who are displaced. Their future is already very uncertain, and it has now been threatened to the extreme limit.

A Ray of Hope?

With the prospect of a cease fire some hope may be given to the thousands affected by this unrelenting war. It could be an opportunity for the parent separated from their children and families and for all the communities devastated to start afresh. However, the goal of attaining peace, does not seem to have an easy way forward.

It is possible to find inspiration in the testimonials of the survivors and witnesses of such horrors since they are any courageous and unbroken. Families like Dr. Alab’s are a constant to tell us the high price of conflict and the imperative of change.

Keep informed and engaged. Had I said that the following are accounts of the ongoing stories from Gaza – these are indeed sad but they cannot be ignored as they deserve better and a future that the world can fight for.
