Ramadan Hussein from Gaza

It began to be clear that all of us meant to be attacked, if not our bodies is our souls and dignity. This morning I decided to visit one of my relatives who was injured yesterday. I did not recognize the streets and the roads. This was very clear that the tears I had in my eyes are due to the bombs. My body is intact and I am not injured but I felt a very deep pain inside me. Why is this happening to us, why us in the world, are we the only people in this world with mistakes. Animals have the right to defend themselves against their enemies, why don’t we have this right?

In the hospital there are hundreds of injured people and thousands of people looking for their beloved ones. An attack happened while I was there, it was very near, I could see the dust and the black cloud. People panicked and started running around. I could see others crying with silent tears, no words, I asked some people what’s happening but I could see nothing in their eyes but fear and panic. This was the first time to feel how much my home is safe. Yes it is still in Gaza but it is still the only safe place on earth. I left the hospital without visiting my relative running back home.

I understand what it means to have injuries other than physical injuries.

Ramadan Hussein
