Scenes from the War on Gaza

[Kryztian]

I know it can be disturbing enough to hear about what is going on in the Gaza Strip, so for those who do not want to see graphic images, I think these pictures deserve their own thread. In my first post I haven't posted any included any mangled body parts - I don't that that is necessary if one wants to see how truly awful and evil the assault on Gazans really is.

It hurts my soul to look at this but I keep looking. Perhaps this topic should be pinned. Along with any others portraying how war really looks like.

It hurts my soul to look at this but I keep looking. Perhaps this topic should be pinned. Along with any others portraying how war really looks like.:bump:

Here are Roger Waters' most poignant and inspired lyrics of all: On the Turning Away, a most wonderful and powerful song, Pink Floyd's video here. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojf18wT_Xtk)

If you've never heard this, maybe do listen if you have a moment. :heart:

~~~

On the turning away
From the pale and downtrodden
And the words they say which we won't understand

Don't accept that, what's happening
Is just a case of other's suffering
Or you'll find that you're joining in
The turning away

It's a sin that somehow
Light is changing to shadow
And casting its shroud over all we have known

Unaware how the ranks have grown
Driven on by a heart of stone
We could find that we're all alone
In the dream of the proud

On the wings of the night
As the daytime is stirring
Where the speechless unite in a silent accord

Using words you will find are strange
Mesmerized as they light the flame
Feel the new wind of change
On the wings of the night

No more turning away
From the weak and the weary
No more turning away from the coldness inside

Just a world that we all must share
It's not enough just to stand and stare
Is it only a dream that there'll be
No more turning away?

[Kryztian]

Every day, new images, new stories, new tragedies ...

Brrr... too "beautiful" these photographs, too much selfpity snot of the onlooker making them shine “misery chic” and glossy...

(and of course always with the obligatory bow to the anti-antisemitic crocodile tear gel of “they started it” when it is known it was another 9/11)

too much bad sentimental music of so-called "songs" Bill with the eternally tautological simplistic chord structure and bad coffee-table “poetry”

in periods like these (the Thirty-years war? the World Wars?) art only exists if it is a weapon that disarms the enemy, that inflicts trauma

we do not deserve to be soothed

Hey Kryztian.
When I'm in the thread on Gaza, all of the pictures are gone.

I do see that just having captions describing those crimes, for pictures unseen.... is very powerful. And I don't know if they were purposely removed, or not.
And I do not intend to depersonalize those necessary impressions in those pictures, when all war is always personal.....


I hadn't viewed the thread because I have strong memories of those I've seen live, in experience, ..... I didn't need to see more. I went there today because I have never seen unending mass murders on this scale, done in full view of all, with no one there to go beyond the talk and stop it. Viewing the carnage now should reveal the real reasoning behind it all, even to those who refused to look, in full denial of their own humanities. When wars go on for so very long, even in the midst of the plans for total removal of any group of people, the hidden designs of complicit governments and corporations worldwide reveal themselves.

Murderers, mass murderers, especially those claiming some sort of superiority over those they kill, always have further plans.... where, unknown to them, only the ghosts of their dark deeds are guaranteed to occupy the land they have plowed under.

The dead also have voices that most do not hear, voices that we are here to lend them through the use of our own, but only if we are open to speak.

For some deeper reason I have a skill in speaking their voices when I stand in those spaces, where they have died, where they were tortured...and it is an opening in my being I have sought to suppress this life thru...to no avail. It is an opening I worked hard to find in some long past living, but one I have, since birth here, knew I had to temper. So far it has been totally accurate and useful only to the few who are present to hear. Like all things considered skills or gifts in these bodies, I know that they are accessible to anyone who is taught some focus or taught to remove some block. With all of those pictures and videos, and all of those horrific personal accounts, these insights and the unsolicited voices are completely unnecessary now.


For those who have seen more in their lives of the misery and death that silence cannot bear to hold back, this time of the grown up to show and tell is the measure of everything of worth in living lives. Few will understand that the only mitigating distance between a species and what only appears to be oncoming tidal waves of natural, cyclical destruction is the effort from themselves for the sake of others.....

and I cannot provide any proof of these things I know as fact, just reaching out beyond the simple confines of this primitive form of communication, of writing.... to propose that the power of people working together to alter the material world itself has been done before. There is no ritual of worth when compared to our own silent and powerful personal presence, whose mere existence demands worldly speech.

It has long since past the time when the monks should come down from the mountains to realize that their real enlightenments live in serving in the wars against the darkness. I'm not talking about the superficial powers, the shallow siddhies, learned from the dark ones in the mountains of the Himalayas, dressed in orange, in saffron and cream.

In most cases they have fed that darkness, if only by civilian words we say they have been distracted by their own skills....without any sense of the lessons of Milarepa that are now felt, seen, or heard, the perfume of the deer who is captured by its own smell, its own musk.

I have seen so little of their prayers "for the betterment of all" manifest and living in this world...for a long, long, long time. I know them for their spongy, self-absorption and extremely limited habits of living in the deeper introspection and travels that can only be earned in the service of others. Those castles in the sky, those tulpas in all of their majesty, disappear in the blink of every single explosion suffered upon the women and children, the men in every Gaza we have known.

Update: The VPN location changed and I can now see all pictures. Pictures that are reinforcing my view.

we do not deserve to be soothedMichel, I understand totally, I really do. It's why many decades ago I vowed never again to read National Geographic for any reason.

But here's a serious, sincere request: please, if you have any time, find and post some photos on this thread that are not at all 'beautiful' in the way you describe.

I am not sure that I find anything here that is "soothing" here, but rather deeply, deeply disturbing. Perhaps there are a few pictures here that are a bit consoling - the pictures of the children in the rubble, playing, smiling, as if life is normal and childhood still has happy moments. Or perhaps "inspiring" too - the woman climbing down the barely navigable steps of a bombed out apartment to get a toy scooter for her child (3rd image from top of thread) says a lot about peoples will to go on and make life better for their children.

Yes, these are the types of photos that photographers long to add to their portfolio, and the images that will win them awards. And rightly so, I say, because any photographer who will take the risks of staying in Gaza and risk being murdered by the IDF to bring the world the truth of what is happening there does deserve an award.

And yes, these images are indeed the truth, even if some of the photos are a tad contrived. Perhaps the subjects cried a bit harder and held their position a big longer just for the photographer, just waiting for the light to be right. Yet, these images are our best way to understand the reality that most Gazans are facing now. For each face here you see, there is a very long story, probably quite amazing and awful. One hopes that these people will survive to tell their stories. And for every story that you see on this thread, there are a thousand more stories from people who were not photographed, and who may never live to tell their story.

But "soothing"? Really Michel? I find almost every image here deeply disturbing. And "beautiful"? I see a tremendous ugliness. Perhaps the greatest ugliness I have seen in my lifetime.

About the best I can come up with is "artistic"? Yes, there are some technically good photographers here showing their "artistry". But part of what makes these images "artistic" is because they show us "the truth", the truth of what is really happening in the world, the truth about the evil men can inflict upon each other. The truth of what is really happening in Gaza, because of us, our tax dollars and the leaders we support.

I was hoping not to say much on this thread. I think these images speak well for themselves, and do so accurately, and might be the best vehicle to help us understand the hell on earth that man-unkind has created in Gaza.

[Michel Leclerc]

Kryztian I cursory read your comment and of course resonate with a lot of what you write. I’ll come back to you to respond – I understand my reaction was a bit “raw skin” and not "encompassing all aspects" enough..

When I am witness to an accident that just occurred in front my eyes, I do not first take a photograph but immediately run and try to help.

Bill thank you for the Geographic comparison. But... why should I post pictures that I... that to me... ...(what more words should finish this question?)?

Ravenlocke and other members have in the course of that “war“ waged in Ukraine and Russia and in the course of that "war” waged in Palestine published photographs of what happens in battles enough – in the spur of the moment – motivated also, I guess, by their horror and, I am sure, with an afterthought of “this should not remain hidden, this should be known".. - which I fully endorse and am grateful for to them.

There is something with visual material that may ruin our energy needed for fighting. It paralyses us. It has to do with the (now completely hypocritically undermined) ban on images in Islam.

Tears should not come from our “admiration” or “shock” or ”appalledness” (or any other of those “news” cliches) of photographic skill or “eloquence” but from our conscience inside – the voice of it, the secret of it – that does not need to be “triggered and anaesthetised” in order to hammer on our soul: act!

Many of those image snippets on tik-tok or other smuggled material I’me referring to above, did awaken strong emotions – without anaesthetic –

[Bill Ryan]

When I am witness to an accident that just occurred in front my eyes, I do not first take a photograph but immediately run and try to help. Here's a famous photo from the past. (It still gets to me every time. :flower:) I'll only post a small version, as I don't want to detract from the theme of the thread.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/b/b8/Kevin-Carter-Child-Vulture-Sudan.jpg/300px-Kevin-Carter-Child-Vulture-Sudan.jpg

The photographer, Kevin Carter (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Carter), did not help the little child. After taking the photo, he sat under a tree and "talked to God". He won a Pulitzer Prize for the image. 4 months after that, he took his own life.

The moral of the story is that in many cases photographers, even professional ones, are as caught up in the tragedy as the desperate people around them, and are as deeply affected.

:focus:

[Hym]

And Kevin's Soul knew the reality that the double slit experiment proves....
Seeing is Involvement, like it or not.

The much larger tragedy is that he didn't do anything about that soul, in that body, suffering to his death, when it looks like he could have. So many years of feeling the cruelty, smelling it, watching it.....it all be damned.

I don't see him taking his life as a solution to anything, just a further proof that he still did not do what he could have done for however many years left he could have lived.

And someone gave him a prize for that?

By the way, many war photogs DO get involved, personally. Their risking their lives and lending a physical hand and even some of their own small monies is at times the value they show to themselves in a world that is the cruelest, the most inhumane.....and one of the few, small reinforcements to the reason they are there in war zones risking it all.

[Michel Leclerc]

Thank you Bill, for keeping the photo small.

I remember the context. It is good that it is told as well.

[Ravenlocke]

It’s not just horror but utter disbelief that humans if they are that, can inflict so much cruelty and suffering on other humans, is it lack of conscience, moral standards, no regard or feel for human or other life. The creativity is so perverse and dark in its negative side. The braves are the journalists, medics, ambulance workers and volunteers that dig out all the victims and see the horror condition first hand. They are the ones that need to anesthetize themselves in order to do their work and not give in to utter despair.

That sounds horrible, Ravenlocke, but the clip seems to have disappeared from X (as so many seem to do these days). But as for the worms . . . maggot therapy is a known positive for wounds in that they eat all the crap quicker than it would take otherwise. They do have to be flushed out with hydrogen peroxide though, but even though it sounds gross, the outcome might be more positive than we think.

Yes X scrubbed the video inline with their censorship of ProPalestinian voices.

Your maggot therapy explanation does not apply in this situation but thanks for offering that bit of information.

Gaza: Euro-Med Monitor investigates Israel’s massacre of 120 Palestinians, most of them from one family

Palestinian Territory - The Israeli army carried out a massacre in the northern Gaza Strip’s Jabalia refugee camp when it bombed a residential complex last November. Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor led a months-long investigation into the circumstances of the massacre, which Israel committed, using US-made bombs with enormous destructive power, as part of its genocide against Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip, ongoing since 7 October 2023.

The investigation was based on multiple field visits to the attack site, survivor testimonies, eyewitness accounts, and satellite images. According to the findings, approximately 120 people—the majority of them from a single family—were killed in several Israeli air strikes that targeted Abu Eida Square, a residential square with buildings housing hundreds of civilians and displaced people.

The incident, which occurred on 1 November 2023, represents a war crime and a full-fledged crime against humanity committed by the Israeli army as part of its large-scale military attack against Palestinian civilians in the Strip.

As part of its field investigations over the past months, the Euro-Med Monitor team repeatedly visited the residential square known as Abu Eida Square near the Six Martyrs’ Roundabout in the Jabalia refugee camp’s Al-Faluga area. The team to inspected the site multiple times to determine and document the massive destruction left by the attack.
In addition to analysing video footage and photos of the incident site taken before and after the targeting, the investigation also included interviews with eight witnesses, survivors, and neighbourhood residents who remained in the area. Notably, the majority of the residents were forcibly displaced due to the widespread destruction that occurred there. Analysis of the videos and photos showed the extent of the destruction that occurred at the site, as well as the locations of the targeted buildings that either completely collapsed or suffered significant damage.

According to witness interviews and other sources, there were over 500 residents in the area when it was targeted, and most of them belonged to the Abu Eida family. This number includes both the overall population living in the region at the time, and the displaced individuals who had sought refuge there.

According to Euro-Med Monitor’s investigation, at around 12:30 p.m., Israeli army aircraft dropped six to eight highly destructive air bombs on Abu Eida residential square without any prior notice. The bombs targeted neighbouring residential buildings that ranged in height from one to five stories, as well as a kindergarten.

In a matter of seconds, some buildings suffered significant damage while others were completely levelled. In addition to causing extensive destruction to the neighbouring structures, the targeting left behind large craters in the ground, at least three of which were visible to the Euro-Med Monitor field team and reached a depth of roughly 2.5 metres, with some having a diameter of up to 10 metres.

Witnesses reported that the targeted area contained over 20 modest homes, a one-storey kindergarten building, and asbestos roofs that were used for housing displaced people.

All of the witnesses and survivors that the Euro-Med Monitor team spoke with stated that the bombs dropped quickly and unexpectedly on a number of residential buildings in the area, in what is known as a “ring of fire”, which the Israeli army has used throughout the Gaza Strip since the start of its military assault on 7 October. This Israeli use of multiple heavy bombs to target a specific area, dropping them one after the other on neighbouring buildings in a matter of seconds or minutes, results in significant losses in terms of both human and material life as a result of the massive scope of the targeting and the inability of the populace to flee the targeted area.

According to the Israeli army, “Israeli aircraft struck a command and control centre for Palestinian factions in Jabalia early on 1 November 2023, based on accurate intelligence information. Members of the Hamas Movement were eliminated in the strike.” In the same statement, the Israeli army claimed to have “urged Gazans in this neighbourhood to evacuate” as part of its efforts to “mitigate damage to civilians” and that the army “continues to call on all residents of northern Gaza and Gaza City to evacuate south to a safer area”.

The Euro-Med Monitor team’s investigation, however, has shown that the Israeli army did not issue any prior warnings or alerts before attacking this densely populated area. During their testimonies, all survivors and eyewitnesses denied having received any kind of prior warning prior to the targeting.

With residents’ permission, the Euro-Med Monitor team examined their phones and found no notifications or text messages or calls requesting them to evacuate before the targeting. They also found no leaflets alerting residents to any danger or requesting that they leave the area beforehand, a finding corroborated by the accounts of survivors and eyewitnesses.

On Wednesday 1 November 2023, the Israeli army released video footage of an air strike that it claimed eliminated a member of Hamas in the Al-Faluga region. However, an analysis of this video and a comparison with satellite images shows that, rather than Abu Eida Square, the targeting took place at a different site in the Jabalia camp and dates back to 31 October 2023. Additionally, none of the names of individuals that the Israeli army claims to have targeted appeared when Euro-Med Monitor reviewed the names of the victims of the targeting of Al Abu Eida Square, raising further questions about the veracity of the Israeli account regarding the targeting of the Square.

All of the individuals the Euro-Med Monitor team spoke with also denied seeing any armed groups or military conflicts in the area before the targeting, but they did all confirm that there were families and displaced people in the area, the majority of whom belonged to the same family.

Through its field inspection of the targeted site and reviewing of video clips and pictures of the area at the time of the targeting, the Euro-Med Monitor team also found no evidence of the presence of military targets or armed elements in the vicinity of the targeted residential square at the time of the Israeli attack. It is not apparent that there were any military sites or infrastructure in the area, which was clearly a civilian residential area densely populated with residents and displaced people who were sheltering in simple homes and adjacent residential buildings.

The weaponry employed in the attacks that took place in Jabalia on 31 October and 1 November (Abu Eida Square) shares similarities in terms of size, patterns of destruction, and ultimate outcomes.

Several weapons experts and inspectors have concluded that the weapons used in the 31 October attack were Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) bombs. These bombs may have been GBU 31 (Warhead Mark 84) or GBU 56 (Warhead BLU 109/“fortification-piercing”), and they weighed approximately 2,000 pounds (about 900 kilogrammes). These bombs were part of the Israeli army’s arsenal, which was supplied by the United States, i.e. either exported or produced locally under its licence.

Based on the information above, the Euro-Med Monitor team has concluded that the military attack on Al Abu Eida Square by the Israeli army was either deliberately direct or excessively indiscriminate, all of which are classified as full-fledged war crimes under the Rome Statute. Given that this attack was part of a larger, more organised military campaign by the Israeli army against the civilian population of the Gaza Strip, this targeting of a group of civilians qualifies as a full-fledged crime against humanity.

Kryztian I cursory read your comment and of course resonate with a lot of what you write. I’ll come back to you to respond –

Michael, thank you for reading my post, however, I really, really, really, hope you don't respond, at least not on this thread. Your comments are worthy of thought and discussion, but they are just going further off topic on this thread.

I really think the pictures speak for themselves and speak very directly to a reality the world needs to know about. Unlike the Kevin Carter photo (and the repugnant story about it) posted by Bill, we should probably have a lot less cynicism and a a lot more admiration for these photographers. They are risking their lives and have probably gone through the same forms of suffering that their photo subjects are going through: they probably live around the rubble or make shift tents, have little to almost nothing to eat or drink, experience gunfire and bombings, and wonder daily if they are going to get out of Gaza alive. They are probably especially attractive targets to the IDF. I imagine that they have the respect of many Palestinians, who know that the world knows very little about what is happening there. Whatever thoughts they have about shooting the prize photograph pale by their thoughts about daily survival.



When I am witness to an accident that just occurred in front my eyes, I do not first take a photograph but immediately run and try to help.

I just don't see any places where the photographer is neglecting to do something that could immediately help his subjects. And by documenting what is helping with a camera, they may be helping future victims of genocide by making the world conscious of the genocidal evil that is enacting thanks to the help of NATO country tax dollars.

Many thanks — I'm very glad that this valuable (and rather terrible, though very important) thread has been bumped.

Inasmuch as it's really a photo archive for the record, many publicly shared images are found embedded in Twitter/X and Telegram posts. It's a bit of a project to extract those with screenshots and then post them all, but if anyone wants to invest a couple of hours in doing just that, please send them to me by email (bill@prohectavalon.net) and then I can upload them to the Avalon server so that as many as possible may be presented here.

Bumping this short film from the Vintage film and photographic footage from down the years (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?122222-Vintage-film-and-photographic-footage-from-down-the-years) thread.


Here, a video slideshow of photographs of Palestine before 1948 and photos collected from various cities during the 1920s and 1930s :flower:

https://avalonlibrary.net/Vintage_Film_%2B_Photographs_1800s_onwards/1920s_%2B_1930s_Palestine_before_1948.mp4

In 1972 I was in 4th Grade and we were frequently given copies of a magazine called The Weekly Reader. The cover story in one issue I received was about the 25th anniversary of the founding of Israel. I remember reading about how Jews fleeing the holocaust arrived in the desert, irrigated the land, and created a new country from nothing. I had the impression that the part of the world called "Israel" was pretty much empty until Jewish refugees arrived.

The Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir stated that "there was no such thing as Palestinians" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/There_was_no_such_thing_as_Palestinians). Although I never heard this statement, the way the news was covered, I was led to believe this through other carefully written and manipulated news stories I had read.

This little film proves otherwise. There really was a Palestine, there was a civilizations, a culture, a commerce and people. It is sad to realize that the descendants of the people who created this land are not in the same position now. Many of them:

have been expelled and were forced into refugee camps in other neighboring countries.


immigrated to Europe, the United States and other places further way.


were killed in violent conflict with terrorist groups like Lehi and Irgun, or later by the IDF (Israeli Defense Force) which was the government consolidation of those terrorist groups.


remain in what is now "Israeli" and find themselves to be second class citizens in a country that is trying only to increase it's Jewish population.


find themselves in the West Bank and are uncertain if they will be able to continue to find a lively hood there or continue to own their land, as the Israeli government continues to move in increasingly violent Jewish settlers into their area as it appropriates more land that has been owned by Palestinians for centuries.


find themselves in Gaza, where they are subject to continual bombing, lack of housing, sanitation, medical care and are nearing starvation.

Yes, Golda Meir, their really was a Palestine and this film proves what a tremendous liar you were.

Many many thanks for bumping that film Kryztian, and what you have shared here :flower:

A reminder to anyone with a pulse and a semblance of humanity and a sense of the Divine, so palpably absent in the 'politic' and the zeitgeist, that here are other people, not so far removed from you and I, save for geography and the grave - almost literal - misfortune of being subject to a demonic judgment. Sheol, the 'trash can', awaits those who have effected this atrocity; I do not hate them, but they long ago gave up spiritual sovereignty of any kind: the perfect form and storm of cowardice. And I shall not join them. That which they have been seduced by will devour them too, and they are perhaps beyond redemption at this point.

These may well be 'end times' for the perpetrators of these horrors, or a preface to a new beginning, for those of us wise enough to see through all this, and able to condemn these actions as purely as we may, yet flawed, but with good intent. The future may well be bright: the immediate present, not so :flower:

Thank you

This is probably the most disturbing thing I have seen from Gaza if not the most disturbing thing I have ever seen. This is a presentation by Dr. Mark Perlmutter, a trauma doctor who has traveled to the world's disaster spots to assist people. He was in Louisiana after Katrina, in Haiti after 2010 earthquake, in the Ukraine during the current war, and in Gaza. He will say that nothing compares to Gaza in it's horror and senselessness.

I originally started to screen shot the images and gather the stories behind each one but then questioned the ethics of doing so. I will advise the viewer to click the "watch" button at their own digression. The pictures are not always that horrible and sometimes seem like pictures from a medical textbook, but when paired with Dr. Perlmutter's description of what was happening then, they become utterly horrifying. Many of the children in the pictures would be alive to day if the hospital had some basic resources, but so many of them died of infection only a few hours later because the hospital could not provide soap, and antibiotics. Many of these children died absolutely agonized deaths because of the lack of pain killers. Also, one sees children here who were killed by white phosphorus. I will also say I was unable to watch this complete presentation and have a very unrestful night of sleep after watching about half of it.

This presentation was originally scheduled to be given at Columbia University Medical School, for the benefit of trauma doctors, however, the administration of Columbia prevented it from happening. I believe (but am not sure) from Jose Dimas comments at the beginning of the tape, that some "protesters" many have shown up at another location when a second attempt was made to film and prevented it from transpiring and there were many attempts where made to make this presentation happen.

There are some awful stories here, and the world really needs to them.

There is no life left, no humanity—everything has turned into absolute hell. Ambulances burn while trying to rescue bodies with no faces, and civil defense digs with bare hands through the rubble to pull out charred remains.

Doctors? Buried alive under the hospitals that collapsed on their heads. Those who survive tear clothing into makeshift bandages, stitching wounds without anesthesia as drones circle above, waiting to kill them too.

Hospitals have become mass graves, schools nothing but piles of human flesh. Children? Scattered body parts lying on the roads, their eyes wide open to the sky as if asking: Where are the humans?

Gaza is no longer a city—it is a fragment of hell on earth, where death moves faster than breath. The whole world sees, hears, and watches... and does nothing. The United Nations? Human rights organizations? Corpses with no soul, no conscience.

Here, an entire city is being exterminated in front of the cameras, and the world applauds with its silence.

The army has announced it will launch its ground offensive in Gaza next week, starting with belts of aerial fire.

And yet, until this moment, we have found no place to go.
We have no money to buy a tent or to transport our belongings to the south.
No shelter, no escape, no means to survive.

We are being left behind—abandoned to face death alone.
As if our lives no longer matter, as if the world has turned its back on us.
We stand on the edge of annihilation, helpless, forgotten, waiting for the fire to fall.

Save us… don’t leave us to die in silence.

The scene is pure hell—chaos devouring the place, frail bodies crying out for care while we stand helpless, carrying more than human strength can bear. I am exhausted… exhausted to the point of breaking.

And yet, despite this endless bleeding of body and soul, I fight to remain standing for my patients who are blameless in all of this. That is why I beg you, from the depths of your humanity, to support me. Your help and donations are the only reason I can continue saving lives in the middle of this nightmare.

Thanks to your generosity, I was able to purchase a second-hand tent for $800, to serve as a shelter for my family lost in this sea of suffering. Yet fate has not shown mercy; even now, we are unable to rent a vehicle to transport our belongings and shattered dreams, as the drivers demand an unbearable sum—$1,000—a price beyond our means that weighs heavily on our hearts. The land where we hope to find refuge also asks for rent we cannot pay, as if the world itself has closed its doors on us.

Here we stand, hands outstretched, pleading for mercy and compassion. Every dollar brings us one step closer to survival, to a glimmer of hope that might grant my family a moment of safety amid this unending darkness.

Today, 3 hours ago,

Today, I went to the hospital for the first time without changing my clothes as I usually do. I only put on the hospital blouse over my jeans, as if I no longer had the luxury of time—or even thought. Fear consumed me, fear of a sudden displacement tearing my family away, or an evacuation dragging my wife from my side. My mind was absent, my soul lost among the tents and the endless echoes of loss. I feel that what we are enduring is no longer the fate of human beings, but a torment beyond the limits of endurance.
