7th of October, 365 days, one full year of genocide!!
7th of October, 365 days, one full year of genocide!!
I sit here tired and depressed, and I overthink things, while death is staring at me, the same death which has visited every house, every street and every neighborhood.
I think of my people who are living in the streets, sleeping on the ground and covering themselves with the sky in impossible environmental conditions for an entire year. People have been burned in schools, hospitals, mosques, churches and tents, and just while writing this, many tents are now burning with people inside it, how unbelievable could this be!
I think of people dying under the rubble from suffocation, others dying above the rubble from hunger, and dying from oppression and injustice in between! I think of the thousands under the rubble, who have not yet been buried!
I think of the wounded and sick, who suffer tremendous physical and psychological pain, in the absence of the necessary humanitarian medical care to relieve them. I think a lot about people who suffer from depression or anxiety disorders, and have no family or friends to help them, vwith no available medications and no suitable environmental conditions that allow them to catch their breath even for a minute!
I think of the thousands of detainees and missing persons, who are subjected to the most heinous types of torture, at the hands of mentally ill people who do not see them as human beings, who humiliate, oppress and torture, without mercy!
I think of dozens of my extended family, my friends and colleagues who were killed in cold blood.
I think of the thousands of innocent people who'd have been saved except that America decided to kill them by it's repeated veto, and continuous unconditional weaponry support to the killers, not only in Gaza, but in the whole region, that are affected by their terrors!
I think of my hospital that was bombed many times, and is still under attack!
I think of my family, myself, our deadly present and our dark future!
Has the world fallen into the quagmire of betrayal forever? A few people reach us with some kinds of support, but where are the rest of the people? They are drowning in honey, and we are drowning in our blood here! It's not their case, because it's not the cowards case.
This picture was on my first day at work in the emergency department, on 7th of Oct, the day the genocide began. Every day since that day has been bad, and days were similar to each other, a vicious circle of death, pain, and continuous suffering.
It doesn't matter how many days have passed, what matters is everything we have paid every day of these days, all the sacrifices and exorbitant prices that the world refuses to appreciate and value it, and continues to revolve without giving a shit. Before that, we thought we had worries and sorrows, until what happened to us after the 7th Oct happened, and we began to realize the depth of human feelings and how deeply and deadly bad feelings can be!
