My friend who wished to remain anonymous translated this video and asked me to share it on her behalf:
We can’t take it anymore. We are living as victims here, martyrs with the difference of times (when we are murdered), we are murdered one after another.
And no one looks at us, no one witnesses the magnitude of the catastrophe of the genocide we are living in gaza.
No protection. No international protection of any sort. No immunity against anything. These vests do not protect us, these helmets do not protect us. It is just a couple of slogans that we wear, it does not offer any protection for any reporter. These helmets and these vests do not protect us. We just wear it as slogans.
We are victims here. Victims being aired live, we lose our lives one after another without any price in return. We live as martyrs living on borrowed time, each waiting our turn to get murdered.“
Our colleague, Mohammed was here only half an hour ago. And now he has departed us and he lies here dead with his wife and his child and his brother, along with a lot of his family who are also victims here inside this hospital.
Remember how many messages out of Gaza in the last three weeks have been simple pleas to be remembered, to be prayed for and thought of, to not be left alone. Demonstrations need to be combined with other forms of direct action to have a hope of changing policy, and that needs to remain the goal. But this is one thing protests can do in themselves: say, “We have not forgotten you. We are here.”
This is the paramedic who found his family among the dead victims. I thought it was only his mother who got killed, but I was mistaken. But his sister seems to have survived only.
They’re telling him to calm down but he fell to the ground saying: My family. My family.
The man consoles him saying: We’re all one family here. Each one of us has lost their family. Look, my sisters are in there. We have to get back up. You’re strong.
gaza has just been completely cut off from the world.
after increased intensity of israeli aistrikes tonight, the last cable providing communications was destroyed. telecommunications have been completely cut off. they cannot reach one another. they cannot reach paramedics. the red crescent society has completely lost contact with their branch in gaza. nobody inside can reach anyone inside, and especially not outside of gaza to tell us what is going on. this is a complete atrocity.
al jazeera has managed to maintain infrequent communication with their journalists in gaza. from their reporter wael dahdouh: “we are not fine. body parts are everywhere, missiles are targeting everyone, and the bombing hasn’t stopped for a second.”
do not stop talking about gaza. they are trying to commit genocide in the dark. do not stop talking.
this is for the people who don’t believe that sharing videos and tweets is doing anything we NEED people to see that there are very real consequences for fake reporting we NEED them to know that they are neither welcome nor save among the people in solidarity with Palestine
“Guterres called for an immediate ceasefire, saying the attack on Israel did not happen “in a vacuum” and followed “56 years of suffocating occupation” for the Palestinian people by Israel.”
what is there to say anymore when the occupier bombs a hospital and kills a thousand people, mostly children, who were already under seige for eleven days and you know nobody is going to stop them. now a thousand people are dead, hospitals are out of power, there is no food or water, and none of us can do anything. egyptian truck drivers are screaming at the border because they won’t let them in with aid and keep sending them back. what is there to say. what is there to say. what is there to say. what is there to say.
normally we do not post images so horrible but this is a direct request from palestinians not to look away. this is what they’re speaking from. this is what we’re letting happen. this will never be forgiven.
