DECEMBER 8, 2023: It has been 62 days trying to cope with the war. I feel betrayed every time I lose a relative of mine. So far, 32 members of the Aljazzar family have been killed. I feel that the world does not care about us.
On December 6, more than 1 million Palestinians were forced to flee their homes in Khan Yunis and travel south to Rafah. Seeing everyone on the streets trying to leave made me cry. The Israel Occupation Forces have divided us into “blocks,” so it’s easier for them to move us around “for safety” while they bomb us. My block number is 25. I feel that this is nonsense and we will certainly end up in the Sinai Desert. They will force all of us, Gazans, off our land until we all reach Rafah, where it will be easy for them to force us all into exile.
