Now;now before it's so late

That's their plan; they never believed in peace. They never intended to stop the genocide. The world should be ashamed, bow its head, and bury it in the soil for allowing them to win with such a plan. I no longer wish to be seen. I wish to be helped. I ask for protection, for my family, from this terrorism. Now; now before it's so late.

I don't know what I feel anymore. It's not the pain that's killing me; it's the heartbreak and helplessness. It's death itself, staring at me from the sky, through my window

Too many wounded, charred children. Mothers, pregnant women were in shock state.

A grandfather covered in smoke, searching for the survivors of his family.

A baby girl gasping her last breaths. Her grandfather kept searching for the living when he was asked to carry her. She found no one to carry her body.

Men shivering from the cold, from the blood on their skin. The man in the ambulance was gasping minutes ago; now he's screaming in pain.

I couldn't tell who needed a brain CT and who didn't. It was almost impossible to decide. Everyone was confused, throwing up, children, mothers, grandmothers, men.

I counted six wounded children, all under the age of ten, entering the emergency room in less than two seconds. I shouted to my colleagues: Six children!

Another heavy airstrike as I write this. Dozens of strikes on my camp. It's the worst end ever; the most painful death. My family woke up to the explosion sound, it was in our neighborhood, everyone rushed to know if it was at one of the families we know. And it was at the same family who was targeted an hour earlier, and no one survived it. Another building is gone. It was my sister's husband's family.

"Urgent Reuters on Trump: Israel has the right to revenge.

The world has the right to challenge the killers and terrorists. Death must stop immediately. These crimes must be stopped by all means. The world must stop and stand now; not after a minute. Now!! Go to the streets; Scream that they are killing entire families again. Shout that they are terrorists who should never be allowed to continue killing us, in a world that doesn't care about human lives and cares more about the dead.

My heart can't take it anymore; trying to stay unafraid, from facing the ones who are controlling the drones above us, from those in the sky, flying high, killing our families. From those leaders signing peace on papers soaked with our blood.

The ones pressing the buttons and the ones signing peace deals, are playing a game while we are being erased. Those with the power, and the inhumanity, are willing to eradicate thousands, if not millions, of families just to win their "war:"

I no longer wish to be seen. I wish to be helped. I ask for protection, for my family, from this terrorism. Now; now before it's so late
