When bombs shake our apartment block and the jets and missiles howl overhead, children start to scream on every floor of the building. 'They're going to hit our house! Our house!'
When bombs shake our apartment block and the jets and missiles howl overhead, children start to scream on every floor of the building. 'They're going to hit our house! Our house!'
Sometimes, around dawn, there will be a break in the bombardment and we fall asleep, still shaking with fear. When I wake, I have the strange sensation of not knowing – for the first moment or two – whether I am alive or dead. People ask me if we are safe here, and the truthful answer is that we could all be killed at any moment – but that is still better than staying in the north.
Rafah is near the coast, and every time we look out to sea, we fear the sight of an invasion force of Israeli landing craft. People were told they'd have to wait five hours. I didn't waste my time: I knew all the bread would be gone long before it was my turn, and meanwhile my sister needed my help at home.
My sister's husband is in an Egyptian hospital, being treated for a brain tumour. Even before this war, there was no treatment for that kind of cancer in Gaza. Now I am fearful that it will have been destroyed and once again we have nothing. I am sad beyond words. At the age of 52, I am not afraid to die. We all die: what matters is to do good with your life.
