The article recounts the harrowing experience of living through night-time bombardments in Gaza. The author describes the chaos following new military airstrikes and the overwhelming fear that grips families, reminiscent of previous traumatic experiences. Despite moments of ceasefire that offer slight relief, life in Gaza is characterized by constant struggle for basic needs and the haunting return of violence. The commentary emphasizes the cyclical nature of conflict, raising poignant questions about the future and the prospect of enduring suffering in the upcoming Ramadan, as the shadow of war looms perpetually.
Death has returned like a shadow that followed us. Today is not October 7, but this is the same nightmare in a different moment, a different hour, a different year.
During the ceasefire we still struggled to eat, to keep breathing, to find shelter. At least we could rest for a moment, believing we might wake up alive.
Fear gripped my heart, and my family and I scrambled to make sense of the chaos. What was happening? We were paralyzed by the shock.
New questions haunt us: Will this nightmare stretch beyond a year, like the war did before this broken ceasefire, or will we be consumed from the very beginning?
