What will become of us?

Very low, very disturbing night drones; the echoes of genocide, are my nightmares. This is not a genocide, it's a videogame, and we are not humans, we are shields. What we're feeling is unbearable: the pain, the fatigue, the discomfort, the depression, the anxiety, the despair; every dark emotion, every depth of exhaustion.

My mind is sick of this

My mind is sick of this

Saleh, and so many others, are survivors of genocide; but victims of dehumanization. Israel keeps killing, day after day, still torturing us with darkness and fear. May he be the last martyr. Glory to all martyrs, peace to the survivors, and justice for all.

Heroes

If l was asked to name heroes I have worked with and affected by in this long, endless, deadly battle, while fighting death and diseases, I would put Youssef at the top of the list!

Please help the children

Please help the children

I am at the hospital, surviving another busy long shift, feeling like dead.

It's already the seventh of October; two hellish years of this damned genocide, and we are still here, somehow, still smiling.

People help the children

I was at the beach with my friend Aboud, who brought me one of his jackets to wear. We were waiting there for the Sumod flottila, until the occupation arrived, terrifying everyone, stealing baby formula, and continuing to kill, starve, and deepen the children's suffering.

Another unbearable shift

Another unbearable shift

Another unbearable shift.

This morning, my beloved aunt's husband, Dr. Assad Jouda, died from bleeding in his brain. Dr. Assad had already lost his son Mohammed, his brother Dr. Saeed Jouda, and his nephew Majd, the son of Dr. Saeed, all martyrs, in this ongoing onslaught.

I wish I’d died before all this

If we all had been killed, it would have been better than this. It would have been more merciful than this.

I wish I died before all this. I wish I never lived, to witness these endless horrors.

I a not a hero

I a not a hero

Share this. Add me if you haven't yet. Hear me; because l am risking my life, my soul, everything, just to make the world see what's happening.

I am not a hero. I am terrified, terrorized; as sit on my couch, watching a drone gets closer to my house.

I feel unbearably helpless before my dying patients. Countless times, I' ve failed to piece together the shattered bodies of children.

I am tired

I am tired

Today, we've already seen nearly 500 patients; some sick, others wounded.

It was mental torture.

I couldn't focus on everyone, though I tried my best not to let anyone die. But every time I tried, it felt impossible.

I scanned two children at the same time; both had internal abdominal bleeding.

This was the worst day of the genocide

This is worse than hell. And here I am, after two years of living through a genocide, still writing to the world about how deadly its silence is; and how painful our death has been.

Update: I'm home. I walked back through the same street that was targeted yesterday.

Am I even important on this earth?

Am I even important on this earth?

My memory is fading, slowly, endlessly. I can't remember what happened a second ago, or even a minute ago. I forget my patients; the ones who were just in front of me. The moment they leave, they vanish from my mind.

I am a Gazan doctor, and I have seen everything. I have witnessed it all with my own eyes. I am not a hero, but those I treated and healed from their wounds, they are the true heroes.

I live in constant, deep pain. Yet I am not even suffering from a painful condition. So what about those who are?

24 continuous hours

24 continuous hours

If someone had described to me something like what I lived through today, and told me it was real, I would never have believed them.

In the last hours of my 24-hour shift in the ER, as I sat writing down the patients' stories I witnessed today, on what is nearly the thousandth day of this endless genocide, the crimes continued.

What is life to you? Life?

What is life to you? Life?

For me, my family, and my people, it is nothing but a question we keep asking, and never truly answered. What is life, if not endless waiting, for a piece of bread, for suffering to ease, before a cruel death finally arrives.

Forever trapped in endless agony?

Today's shift was beyond horrible, not just because l've been feeling unbearably sick, both physically and mentally, but because patients were everywhere. On beds, on the ground, in the courtyard; standing, sitting, lying on the floor

I feel like hell

I feel like hell

Hello everyone, I can no longer feel your love or your humanity toward me. I have lost all my trust in humanity. This is exactly how they dehumanized me. It feels unbearable; to be seen and to be loved, yet unable to feel it.

I feel like hell, and l am actually in hell as I write this, but it must be said.
