The article shares the poignant messages from Ramez, a 17-year-old boy in Gaza, highlighting the severe humanitarian crisis exacerbated by conflict and blockade. Living in dire conditions, he communicates his despair over hunger while witnessing bombing campaigns by Israel, which result in significant casualties, including children. The author's reflections on Ramez's plight emphasize the shocking disparities between their lives in Berlin and Gaza, presenting a compelling narrative of suffering, hope, and a call for global awareness and justice for Palestinians.
Watching Western governments cover up Israeli crimes has been exhausting. But I refuse to surrender and accept injustice. My family's situation is very difficult, sister.
I couldn't afford food. Everything here is expensive. Hunger has come back again. Three days later, just before suhoor, Israel unleashed a huge campaign of bombardment.
A massacre occurred right in front of us, and they asked us to evacuate under the shelling. Last year, Ramez had reached out to me on Instagram.
As I break my fast, here in Berlin, I think of all the Palestinian families that have almost nothing on their iftar tables, who instead of the call to prayer, hear Israeli bombing.
