"Without any warning or expectation, I woke up to find myself under the rubble," said Rawan Eldadah, reading testimony from her cousin Abd AlRahman Rafat Lubbad. Eldadah's cousin, who lives in Sheikh Radwan in northern Gaza, lost two sisters in the bombing. "I'm not able to breathe, I'm not able to move. I can barely see around me," Eldadah read. Her two sisters, six and eight years old, had their heads and bodies smashed in.
"We are here today to honor one year of genocide, to honor our martyrs, and to honor one year of resistance," said Violet, a member of the Palestinian Youth Movement, speaking from the back of a rented pick-up truck near the beginning of the protest. "We are here, because we know that though their bodies fall, their ideas do not, and for every martyr that falls, another will rise and our struggle will continue."
