Waiting for Death is Death Itself !

   The Gaza Strip is about 360 km2. It is the most populated place in the world. As a witness on the third aggression on Gaza I can clearly say it is a field of experiences of the world's weapons.
   As a reminder, the Gaza Strip is under the Israeli siege since 2007. As a result of this long siege, factories stopped working, average of unemployment exceeded to 80%, to occupy the highest rank in the world. It also led to a lack of medication and medical stuff, and death of more than 400 patient since they cannot travel or move to get better health care. besides, it led to stop building and constructing which makes an actual serious crisis especially after what Israeli Occupation Forces are causing of damage regarding buildings, houses, mosques, churches, ministries, schools and hospitals.
   Whereas we always find a way to live and we always stand up after falling, people of Gaza dig tunnels from the Palestinian side of the city of Rafah to the Egyptian side. these tunnels were used to buy goods, food, fuel in addition to some building materials, and of course they were sold to the Palestinians by higher prices. Worth mentioning, tunnels were closed since the beginning of the rule of  president Abdulfattah Al-Sisi to Egypt, and what were left, were destroyed by IOF warplanes later.
   The Israeli blockade is not only about this, due to the Israeli blockade a new crisis starts to increase, which is the electricity crisis, regarding lack of fuel. Electricity cut reaches some times to 16 hours a day which led to a series of incidents of burning as a result of using candles and fuel to light at night. Many families were burned alive.
   As a witness of the third aggression on Gaza which is continued until this minute while writing this article, I can clearly say that, I have witnessed the 2008 and the 2012 aggression on Gaza but this one is the worst.
   To wait for death is death itself. That what I keep repeating nowadays. Imagine you are laying in your bed and you suddenly hear a sound of a falling rocket, you close your eyes and put your hands on your ears, you count your breath, and start thinking that you are going to die, then you realize that it is not your turn but your neighbor's! You do not like this, ok, imagine you are at your house, eating, drinking, reading, or maybe watching TV, and you suddenly get a phone call from IOF says that you have to leave your house because it is going to be bombed in five minutes. You cannot take anything or think of anything but getting everyone out. During only one minute all your official paper, clothes, money, childhood memories, the bed you used to make yourself sick in when you want to get rid of your mother's orders, the window you used to watch stars from every night before sleeping, the toy you used to play with while being five years old, the clothes you bought for some occasion and that nail polish you want to put while wearing that shirt, the desk you used to study on in high school, your diaries and your your favorite novels. All these stuff disappear in one minute! Imagine you lose your sight and you will never see the sky, the sun, your mother, your favorite movie or your friends! Imagine you went to buy something and when you come back you do not find neither your house nor your family! Imagine breathing a sort of gas or waking up in the middle of night on a sound of expulsion or bombing! Imagine having no water to drink or even to go to the bathroom! Imagine living for days without any kind of power! Imagine living in a school with strangers because you do not have a house any more thanks to IOF! In short, these are simple samples of what we go through every single minute. And the world, the big world cannot say STOP. The world's whole tongues cannot pronounce STOP!
   You should know that Gaza does not need your money because we are not beggars. We do not need your sympathy or condemnations because we are not stupid. Gaza needs a real stand. Gaza needs acts, actual acts.
The death toll during the continuous brutal Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip has risen to 2102 including 567 child and 259 woman. While the number of the wounded has increased to more than 10647 including 3237 child and 2010 woman. So, what does the world wait for? Do not you notice it is a genocide, an ethnic cleansing!  There are families that wiped completely from the civil registry. Is not that enough!
   Those are real souls and humans! Those who died were normal children playing with toys and wearing Spongepop T.Shirts. The girls were fans of Selena Gomes. They used to follow fashion like other girls. They were normal girls dreaming of that day when they will wear that white dress! Lives have been killed, Dreams have been ended. Families have been erased. Is not that enough!
