"Over the past two years, the people of Gaza have been exposed to the sounds of bombs, drones, explosions, destruction, and sirens. These human-made sounds of terror have stood at the center of at least two of the United Nation Children's Fund's campaigns and are abundant in testimonies made by Palestinians. Our feeds have been filled with documentation of men, women, elders, and children crying, shouting, and wailing."
"Other haunting shouts and cries belong to those trapped under the rubble, documented by rescue teams and civilians, as well as family members. A video from November 2023 depicts teams trying to rescue a girl from under the rubble of a home. She pleads, "Get me out of here, please get me out of here ... I can't move ... why is all this happening to us?""
Over the past two years people in Gaza have been exposed to continual sounds of bombs, drones, explosions, destruction, and sirens. Human-made sounds of terror have featured in UN Children's Fund campaigns and in many Palestinian testimonies. Social feeds show men, women, elders, and children crying, shouting, and wailing, including Mohamed Abo Dakka recounting the loss of eight family members in an Israeli airstrike in October 2023. Rescue videos capture trapped people pleading for help, and 2,700 families have been reported completely wiped out since October 2023. On September 26, Israel Defense Forces vehicles equipped with megaphone-like and stacked speaker systems headed toward the Gaza border and broadcast messages over the area.
