Majd H., Gaza

Loss of life is within the faces of my folks. We’re at some extent now the place we count on to die at any second. Some are awaiting Judgement Day. Some even want for it, for any type of change. How do I put this into phrases? The lives we now stay are hells past description.

Folks strive to deal with no matter’s accessible. No gasoline, no water, not even bread. All of the bakeries bombed. Even within the areas of Gaza that we had been informed can be protected, persons are being killed. We’re pressured to stay prefer it’s the Stone Age. The whole lot’s being performed with hearth and wooden. Bread’s being made on items of wooden – if they’re even accessible. A 25kg bag of flour was roughly 15 US {dollars}, however now it prices between 70-80 US {dollars} – once more, solely if it’s accessible. 

We might by no means have imagined we might expertise this struggling. Even the protected zones are being bombed and persons are shedding their lives. We don’t even have provides for many who’ve been displaced from north to south. Take a look at the faces of the folks of Gaza and you will notice demise. We’ve gotten to some extent the place we’re not involved. We’re not apprehensive. We’ve got develop into numb to any emotions. Life has develop into the identical as demise.

I’ve survived so many different wars in Gaza, however they had been nothing in comparison with this. I used to be a volunteer for The Pink Cross in 2008, in 2014, in 2018, in 2020, and in 2021. We’ve got by no means skilled one like this. We’ve misplaced the lives we had earlier than. All our plans and goals have been destroyed. 

Seeing folks come out to say no to this battle and to name for a ceasefire — that has reached the hearts of all of our folks. We simply need to be reassured. We need to know this battle received’t proceed. Please inform us it’s going to finish.

There’s no life right here. Solely hunger, excessive poverty, devastation and spoil. Please inform us it’s going to finish.

We drink water unfit for consuming. We’ve got no drugs. We’re not protected in our personal houses. Our youngsters should not even protected within the UN colleges protected by worldwide legislation. We can not do something within the face of this nightmare. 

We plead with you for any type of assist you’ll be able to give. Convey our message to folks in Britain and America. These international locations have a giant affect on Israel. They’ve the ability to deliver a few ceasefire.

There needs to be strain from the remainder of the world on the decision-makers in America and Israel to cease these massacres. Really, the phrase “bloodbath” doesn’t suffice. What is going on is like being in an inferno. We’re in shelters awaiting our finish each minute.

To my fellow Ahmadi Muslims in the remainder of the world:

At all times be with us. Stand by your brothers. Your brothers want you. We hope, God keen, that this battle will finish and that we’ll see you quickly. Might Allah shield the Khalifah and all of the members of the Group. God keen, you’ll play a significant position in conveying the message of the Gazans to the folks of the World. 

Listening to the sermons of our beloved Khalifah, His Holiness Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad (aba), has had a profound impact on us. 

My message to our beloved Khalifah: 

Might God assist you with His mighty victory and settle for your prayers for us. Our pricey Khalifah, I ship you a greeting from the brothers right here within the beloved Gaza Strip. We all know that you may be the voice of fact, the voice of the oppressed right here in Gaza, the voice of the brothers who don’t discover shelter, water, nor the requirements of life. 

We enchantment to you to be our voice, the voice of fact, the voice of the unvoiced, to convey this message from the midst of struggling, from the midst of concern, demise, starvation, poverty, and excessive issue. Convey our message to this unjust world, that doesn’t hearken to us and doesn’t hearken to our appeals. Maybe they may hearken to you, our pricey Khalifah. Might God assist you with His victory and open the hearts of the Muslims and all nations at your arms. Ameen.
