This
is the situation in the Rafah Refugee Camps: after
invading Yebna Camp in Rafah and demolished all it's
houses, after Hai Al Salam area was also demolished,
and after Al Brazil refugee camp had been demolished,
yesterday, they demolished 21 houses, and killed a
child, Shadi Abu Anza - 14 years old. He was killed
while trying to get out of his house when Israeli
bulldozers attacked. Many others were injured in the
same attack.
Yes,
demolishing houses has become something normal for
this world ... demolishing houses means killing dreams.
They are demolishing 21 newly built houses right now
while the driver of the bulldozer was in his bulldozer
and the people were running in the streets. It was
raining heavily.
I
forget all things, but I can't forget yesterday's
attack which still, up till this moment, I cannot
erase the image of this women who was carrying her
baby child and running in the street about a few meters
from the Israeli bulldozers. She was running in the
heavy rain, and then she stopped in the middle of
the street when the small blanket that covered her
baby child fell. She stopped to pick her small blanket
up from the ground but the bullets were shooting all
around her hands ... A question came in my mind during
those moments: what did she do to deserve all this
torture?
It
is now raining in Rafah. The weather is getting colder
and colder, and it is really hard to understand. Yesterday
this man before me was living in his house, but this
morning, his life has been completely changed when
I found him living in his small tent with no clothes,
water, food, electricity or anything ... just the
things that they have is this tent that he got from
UN which wasn’t able to protect him from the
rain or the cold wither..
It
is time for you just to feel in the tragedy and how
living in tents during winter is going to be.
