[00:00:03] There was massive destruction, especially north of Gaza City.
[00:00:08] he's 14 years old, so now he goes to The north has been greatly affected during this
[00:00:10] war, the war of October 7th. The northern region
[00:00:14] suffered a lot. From the
[00:00:17] destruction of homes and houses, we returned to our homes and we
[00:00:21] continued to suffer the same hardship. But currently, the suffering
[00:00:25] of the people in the tents
[00:00:27] Hospitals, you go to is like a boat in a sea with high waves, and you don't know
[00:00:30] where to go because this calamity befell us and reminded us of the calamity
[00:00:34] of '48, when they were expelled in '48. This
[00:00:37] is harder. I felt the pain they went through.
[00:00:41] They used to tell us when we were children,
[00:00:45] it's true, but this, by God, burned me more,
[00:00:48] and I remembered how they left, and they took their young
[00:00:52] a nurse and a mother. And of course, this children with them. It was a difficult thing for a boy and a girl to be with them.
[00:00:56] leave the It was a bitter
[00:00:57] But it's not situation. Where will we go? They told us to
[00:01:00] leave, but I didn't want to leave. I was one of those who My grandchildren, my daughters, and all of them came
[00:01:03] and stayed with me. They said, "Leave!" I told him, "I'm not leaving." Where will we go? Everything
[00:01:07] will be gone. Everything we built
[00:01:10] will be gone.
[00:01:13] I work on it every year. In the end, I gave up. I surrendered to those around me, my daughters,
[00:01:16] and my children. Oh, my father, we won't abandon you, and we won't abandon you. We're leaving.
[00:01:19] Our refuge was a very bitter thing. The Jews reached
[00:01:23] almost the northern part, and the summer season ended. The winter season
[00:01:27] came. The winter season was really a disaster for
[00:01:30] the displaced people in the tents. Even though
[00:01:34] it was raining, there was no
[00:01:36] our phones. There was no tent. The tent was over. The rain would enter
[00:01:39] inside. The rain would enter, besides the rockets. At
[00:01:42] any moment, a rocket could hit a tent. Shots would
[00:01:46] also enter a tent normally. There were also planes and tanks.
[00:01:52] started throwing stones at There were many things, honestly. The scenes were very frightening. The
[00:01:56] situation was not safe. The situation was frightening. You
[00:02:00] and they have been sitting for two or three months at would be afraid to go out, afraid that there would be a threatened place, and you wouldn't know to go out.
[00:02:03] We walk two steps, and there's a
[00:02:05] So they spoiled, left under tank. We honestly don't know. Until now, there is no
[00:02:50] and you all know and are aware, I swear to God,
[00:02:53] and you appreciate it, and we feel
[00:02:56] it. I know since Thursday, the incident that happened to us and the bombing that
[00:03:02] the only thing that between two tents that
[00:03:10] By God, you did not fall short with me in anything. Your stance, honestly, when I see you,
[00:03:13] him from by God, you make everything easy for me. Some keys don't This October 7th was a great
[00:03:16] catastrophe, a greater catastrophe than that of '48,
[00:03:20] because in '48, people lived simply, without
[00:03:23] technology, without mobile phones, without internet, without
[00:03:27] electricity, without all the world. They were
[00:03:30] living simply.
[00:03:32] didn't eat normally. Everything was Yes, today we have reached technology. We have become
[00:03:35] like the rest of the world. We communicate with the outside
[00:03:38] world through the internet, through technology, through knowledge,
[00:03:42] through work. All our work today is based on technology.
[00:03:45] And today they sent us back. We have had no electricity for two years, no
[00:03:49] refrigerators, no washing machines. The poor women are back to washing with
[00:03:53] their hands. You see, there are no televisions or
[00:03:57] anything from what
[00:04:00] he has. Okay, now, we used to live with before. They sent us back to even before
[00:04:04] '48. In '48, they lived normally when
[00:04:07] they emigrated. The situation
[00:04:09] the following year, he allied with didn't change much for them, but for us today, it's different. We have returned
[00:04:13] And we still say, "I am from with nothing at all. We have become, truly, what happened hasn't happened to
[00:04:18] and eliminate anyone else. We got used to houses with electricity, and a world, and tiled floors,
[00:04:21] and order, and beds, and mattresses, and so on, and clothes.
[00:04:24] Today they sent us back to
[00:04:26] Now, he completed his treatment journey at tents, and even the tents are not equipped
[00:04:29] for living. And there's no clean water. The water
[00:04:33] is very bad, you see. There are also many people,
[00:04:37] and diseases and epidemics have spread, and polio,
[00:04:40] and diseases. And there's nothing. And the Jews,
[00:04:44] Israel has besieged the Gaza Strip. They don't allow medicines
[00:04:47] and food to enter except with restrictions
[00:04:50] you to be able to do the martyrs were in and permission, and so on. The rate of education was high here.
[00:04:53] We see young people who can't find work. All young people can't find work.
[00:04:57] And graduates can't find work. Hospitals are out of
[00:05:00] service. Schools are out of service. Universities are out of service.
[00:05:03] Roads are out. Electricity
[00:05:05] served.
[00:05:09] There are no roads. Everything has returned to before, maybe in '67, no, before the census.
[00:05:13] It was somewhat there, but today everything
[00:05:16] has disappeared. There are no medicines, no education, no
[00:05:20] streets, no cars, no health. The water comes every day.
[00:05:23] You get one delivery, but it's not enough for 500. Even the water that
[00:05:27] arrives is not healthy because there isn't enough water to
[00:05:30] satisfy people, or containers to put it in. Also,
[00:05:33] materials like water,
[00:05:36] sterile materials, and so on, are not available.
[00:05:39] hospitals, they can't work. According to priority,
[00:05:43] they don't have enough medical staff or rooms to receive people, or
[00:05:46] receptions, or devices that can
[00:05:49] examine and diagnose
[00:05:53] patients. Consequently, sometimes people perish or
[00:05:56] die due to lack of care, and lack of equipment, and lack of
[00:05:59] doctors. All hospitals have gone out of service.
[00:06:03] There are no hospitals left in the Gaza Strip, except for some
[00:06:06] hospitals that have been restored, you see.
[00:06:10] enough. Before the war in 2023,
[00:06:13] things were much better. We were very advanced in Gaza
[00:06:17] in electronics and mobile phones. Honestly,
[00:06:21] we had made a lot of progress in devices here in Gaza. The
[00:06:24] war started, and we went back almost 20 years.
[00:06:28] We went back because everything was wiped out. There was no electricity,
[00:06:31] no gas. We went back to using fire. We went back to getting water, searching for water,
[00:06:35] searching for food. There was almost nothing.
[00:06:38] There was no flour. There was nothing at all. No electricity to
[00:06:43] charge our phones at night, to turn on a light at night, to listen to news on
[00:06:48] charger to charge our phones.
[00:06:51] And this is a very bad situation. No one
[00:06:55] expected what happened, and the whole
[00:06:58] world is unable to stand with us, unable to send us aid
[00:07:02] because they are closed. The occupation has closed
[00:07:05] the crossings. They are unable to enter through the crossings. Even the
[00:07:09] aid supplies that came have spoiled,
[00:07:13] the crossings on the borders of Rafah city.
[00:07:18] the sun and in the world. And even when they do arrive, it's not
[00:07:22] enough, even protein
[00:07:24] and meat products, fish, and chicken don't enter, and medicines don't
[00:07:28] enter in sufficient quantities. Vegetables are
[00:07:31] very expensive, comparable to maybe Paris or
[00:07:35] London. This is what happened in the Gaza Strip,
[00:07:38] with the difference in income. The income of the people is very low.
[00:07:42] You see, and many people have lost their source of income.
[00:07:46] Whoever had a shop was burned, broken,
[00:07:49] hit. They have no place to work.
[00:07:52] So people became homeless and jobless.
[00:07:55] jobless.
[00:08:01] When the pain is inherited between generations, the tent becomes
[00:08:05] a school, and the grandfather a historian, and the granddaughter
[00:08:08] an extension of the right
[00:08:11] doesn't die. Nostalgia is
[00:08:15] airplanes don't bomb, and rubble doesn't swallow.
[00:08:19] And in every generation, the dream of return is reborn.
[00:08:24] rust because they are preserved in the heart.
[00:08:27] And between the past that was not forgotten and the future whose
[00:08:30] waiting we do not tire of, the Palestinian remains a witness,
[00:08:33] a refugee in geography, but a master in
[00:08:37] his memory.
[00:08:42] In '48, when the Nakba happened, and they attacked
[00:08:45] us and displaced people from Palestinian villages and cities,
[00:08:48] it was difficult for them because
[00:08:52] they left their lands, their orchards, and their shops,
[00:08:56] on the assumption that we would return in two or three days. The elders told
[00:08:59] us, and we would return to our country. And until
[00:09:02] now, poor souls, they have inherited to us
[00:09:05] the keys to the houses and the deeds to the Palestinian
[00:09:09] lands. Yes, exactly. By God, we will return
[00:09:13] to
[00:09:16] our homes in Palestine and our Palestinian villages, which
[00:09:20] are their heritage, and their ancestors, where they were born and raised.
[00:09:25] Al-Khalouji, and you are from Harbia, and he is from Zodud, and he is from Barbareh,
[00:09:29] and he is from Al-Jia," and our children.
[00:09:32] And we still, until now, teach our children which country they are from and so
[00:09:36] on, because this will remain, God willing. We will return to
[00:09:39] it, God willing. And this situation, which
[00:09:43] our ancestors and fathers experienced,
[00:09:45] and they told us about it, we experienced it today
[00:09:48] naturally. You see, with the same nature.
[00:09:51] The displacement and bombing were more, and the destruction and death
[00:09:54] were. We were leaving Gaza against
[00:09:57] our will. The bodies of
[00:10:02] the streets, lying there. The occupation did not even
[00:10:05] bother to remove these bodies after their death. They left the ambulances
[00:10:09] and people to remove them. They remained lying there for several months.
[00:10:22] And our children and grandchildren saw it, and we will tell them.
[00:11:11] And God willing, the Palestinian Authority will return to the Gaza
[00:11:14] Strip with full sovereignty, impose its sovereignty, and start
[00:11:17] operating the system and employing people again, to rebuild so that people don't
[00:11:21] country.
[00:12:12] This round was aggressive because they
[00:12:17] houses, and a few days ago, they also
[00:12:20] burned a house in the village belonging to citizen
[00:12:24] Suhaib Radwan.
[00:12:26] Ramadan
[00:12:35] The attack happened in the area we are watching from behind.
[00:12:39] The firing led to four martyrs and four wounded.
[00:16:23] Look at how many thousands of trees they uprooted from the land.
[00:16:27] Why? What is the tree's fault?
[00:16:29] What is the tree's fault
[00:16:31] for what?
[00:16:44] And we are in this land, and we will never leave it. We have always planted it,
[00:16:47] and as you can see,
[00:16:51] This work means that our land is planted.
[00:16:54] Our roots are deeply embedded in the bottom of
[00:16:57] the earth.
[00:17:23] Good times to you all. With the message of goodness and giving that we always
[00:17:27] carry in all governorates, we always strive to be by the side of
[00:17:31] families, to support them, to alleviate their suffering.
[00:17:33] Always, in every home, there's a story,
[00:17:37] and every home has pain, but things differ from
[00:17:40] one home to another in terms of how much we are able to live
[00:17:44] despite your suffering. May God keep
[00:17:47] him for you. How old is your son?
[00:17:51] 14 years old. 14 years old.
[00:17:54] It's a simple thing. What was his
[00:17:58] medical condition? The medical condition was a hereditary gene deficiency.
[00:18:01] In the family, oxygen deficiency. Ah, gene deficiency, oxygen deficiency. What did
[00:18:05] this lead to? By God, it led to limited movement. I mean, the child was basically
[00:18:09] a plant. Ah, at four months, a child is supposed to
[00:18:13] lift his head, sit up, lean,
[00:18:15] swim. I didn't notice these things at all in the child.
[00:18:19] I mean, they weren't present at all. When I held him, his
[00:18:22] neck would tilt left and right, and I felt that there was
[00:18:25] a problem. So immediately, I went to Dr. Osama,
[00:18:29] a neurologist, who told me that he had a neurological deficiency, a
[00:18:33] gene deficiency, a movement deficiency. So
[00:18:35] he now has a movement disability. A movement disability, of course, a movement disability is not
[00:18:39] a challenge for me. It was never a challenge, thank God, because
[00:18:43] he understands everything, thank God.
[00:18:45] Ah, okay. Your suffering with
[00:18:50] the beginning, and how big was the challenge
[00:18:53] for you to be able to prevent him from becoming bedridden,
[00:18:57] to become a person who, at least with his disability, can live?
[00:19:01] By God, brother, I have suffered with him
[00:19:04] since I knew he had a problem. The child, I mean, he basically
[00:19:10] blended. I would blend it for him, and even after blending it,
[00:19:13] he would vomit. And after he vomited, I would have to
[00:19:17] give him a bath and change his diapers, and all
[00:19:20] the things you know about, the cleanups.
[00:19:23] So then the doctor asked him to go to Tel Hashomer
[00:19:27] in Israel. So they prescribed him a type of medication, and thank God, he got better
[00:19:31] with it. The cost of the medication is 3000 shekels per box. This medication
[00:19:34] boosts the gene deficiency
[00:19:38] this medication was not available through the health system. I went,
[00:19:41] the idea is that this medication significantly improved
[00:19:45] his condition. It really improved it a lot, not just a little. But from one box and
[00:19:48] 30 pills, he started eating normally. I would give
[00:19:52] him food, and he would eat it without blending, without needing to be blended. You understand
[00:19:56] what I mean? It made a big difference, even 30 pills made a difference
[00:19:59] for him.
[00:20:03] the Arab institutions. I went to the Arab Association
[00:20:07] there for weeks. And
[00:20:11] there was even a physical therapist there.
[00:20:14] I even remember one named Naji. At that time, when he saw
[00:20:18] that he was improving, he told me, "Go, sister, and when you feel
[00:20:22] that his head is starting to stiffen, bring him back to me."
[00:20:25] My airplane
[00:20:28] the treatment naturally here in our centers,
[00:20:31] I mean, to go back and forth to centers that are close
[00:20:34] because there it's far, my in-laws' house, you know that
[00:20:40] you are traveling, and I was in a family house, I mean, I would go
[00:20:43] and you know how with the events on the roads
[00:20:47] and the closures, you needed to sleep there. Ah, I used
[00:20:51] to sleep there for two or three weeks.
[00:20:55] Okay, God keep him. Now, mashallah,
[00:20:58] school? Yes, he goes. Okay, how is his suffering in school? No,
[00:21:01] thank God, his condition has improved. Now he's taking a type of medication with
[00:21:05] Dr. Nader in Al-Kartas, and he has reduced
[00:21:09] that medication to another type, but he should still
[00:21:13] take that one in addition to the second medication. His condition, thank God, has
[00:21:16] improved. I mean, in terms of speech, he has also started speaking, started talking.
[00:21:20] Before, he couldn't say "Mama" and "Baba." His
[00:21:24] tongue would get stuck, only with his eyes, he couldn't speak.
[00:21:28] Okay, so, thank God, now his speech is good? No,
[00:21:31] thank God, it's much, much better. Not 100% perfect, I'm not saying it's 100%, but
[00:21:35] it's easier than before. Okay, I always tell him, you
[00:21:39] are by his side, between
[00:21:42] is the great humanitarian role that we come to highlight. You were able
[00:21:46] to alleviate some of the difficulty of movement and
[00:21:50] the stiffness in his hands and feet. By God, I tell you, I was able
[00:21:53] to. I mean, I tell you, I couldn't. I mean, with these centers, I was
[00:21:57] able to. Yes, I continued and I used to put him first in
