All around us our loved ones are being killed, leaving behind only memories. Here are just three of their stories.
A Palestinian holds the body of a child wrapped in a shroud as another stands next to him, outside a hospital following Israel's bombardment of Gaza City's eastern suburb of Shujaiya, on November 4, 2023.This dispatch was relayed by Mondoweiss Gaza Correspondent Tareq Hajjaj via voice note.
Now, however, after almost a month since the start of the war, I make a point of looking through social media — not to know who has died, but to check in on which of my friends was still alive.
Mahmoud was killed in an Israeli airstrike alongside 21 of his family members, including his parents and siblings. Mahmoud deserved everything good in this world, but what he got was something different. Perhaps he has ascended to paradise as an innocent and blameless martyr.Rushdie Sarraj was a journalist and co-founder of a media group in Gaza called Ain Media.
Days before he was killed, Rushdie wrote on Facebook that he would not leave his homeland. Not to Egypt, not to the Sinai, nowhere. If he were forced to leave, he would only go to one other place: heaven. After several years of struggling to make a living, Ismaeel was finally able to find a government job in Gaza. It was a civil post unrelated to the resistance — and it should also bear mentioning that Ismaeel has no ties to the resistance, not for any particular reason, but because his body was never made for fighting.
