We are displaced south from the valley, which is supposed to be a safe area, but every night, every day, there is airstrikes. They are targeting everybody. Nobody is safe.
There is a lot of different types of injuries. We saw burns from different kinds of sources, we saw raw areas, we saw fractures. Also, there is a lot of kids with amputations. We have only the primary medical supplies with paracetamol ibuprofen and dressings. Unfortunately, we don’t have access to our clinic. The Israeli Army cut the road.
We treated six-year-old female child. She was badly injured with external fixator, and there is a big raw area. She was crying, shouting. She was begging for painkillers for sedation, because she’s tired from pain, and she’s tired from inability to move her arm.
In most of the shelters, you will find fleas, you will find all kind of skin diseases, all kind of gastrointestinal symptoms, and in one shelter near where I am located, there is hepatitis A spread between people. It’s really hard to treat them because we don’t have access to the needed drugs. We don’t have access to anything at all. Water and food, they are not clean, and people are now eating anything they could find, because it’s really a starvation here.
I don’t believe that anything I say will change the picture. My only message that Palestinians have the right to be treated as human beings, have the right to live. Every day, every night, I fear for my kids’ life, for my life. And I’m sorry to say that, but after 60 days 0f war I’m losing hope, and I am saying that the ones who passed away in the [first] few days were very lucky. They didn’t witness a two month of terrifying days and nights. I’m seeing my people suffer, and I cannot do anything. This world is not fair.
