I don’t know if the world will care, but a real catastrophe is unfolding in Gaza right now. The heat is unbearable, and the tents have turned into ovens. The sun burns through the fabric, scorching the skin and stealing every breath. Rats and insects swarm out of the ground like armies. They invade the tents and bite the bodies of children and infants. Hospitals receive dozens of cases daily due to bites and infections. Water is scarce, sewage flows between the tents, garbage is piled up everywhere, the stench is suffocating, and diseases are spreading rapidly. No electricity, no fans, no cooling. You sit with your family inside a literal oven. Our children’s faces and bodies are covered in burns and insect bites. We haven’t even entered summer yet what will happen in a month? The whole world cannot bring even one caravan to us, and these tents have become the filthiest place a human can live in. Our children are melting before our eyes, and infants cry in pain. Our families are dying slowly under the sun, the filth, and the hunger. Move. Speak. Share. Pressure them. Don’t stop. If the world remains silent today, tomorrow no one will be left to hear our screams.

I don’t know if anyone will even care about what I’m saying now but the truth is harsher than any person can imagine. A large number of children in Gaza are being born with shocking deformities: open spine defects, severe heart abnormalities, missing limbs, deformed heads, and faces that look as if they were burned inside the womb. They come into the world already marked by the war before they even take their first breath. Mothers have been inhaling rocket gases and toxic smoke for months, drinking water contaminated with explosives residue, and living on soil saturated with toxins. I saw photos and videos myself of children in extremely difficult conditions unbearable to look at. Babies screaming in pain during their first hours of life, their tiny bodies horribly deformed. Doctors say they have never seen such cases in their entire lives, and they warn: “These deformities are unprecedented and will increase because of the pollution.” Here, we don’t just suffer from hunger and epidemics we are giving birth to an entire broken generation from the moment they are born. We live inside a giant prison, deprived of medicine, clean food, electricity, and even the basic right to have healthy children.
