The article describes the intense suffering faced by families in Gaza following renewed Israeli airstrikes, resulting in a staggering death toll of children. After 16 months of conflict, hopes for recovery were ignited during an eight-week ceasefire, which enabled temporary healing and homecoming for many families. However, the escalating violence has shattered these aspirations, forcing humanitarian workers and civilians to make harrowing choices amid destruction. The writer, having visited Gaza shortly after the pause, highlights the overwhelming devastation, questioning the global response to such humanitarian crises while portraying the heartbreaking consequences endured by families.
When I was woken up in the middle of the night on Tuesday by the roar of airstrikes and blaring ambulance sirens, I quickly realised that, once again, Israeli forces were unleashing hell on Gaza.
The attacks persist, and Gaza is once again divided. The Israeli military has imposed restrictions, blocking access to northern Gaza from the south.
This resurgence of violence is a devastating setback for families who had just begun to find hope after an eight-week pause in the bombardment.
How can the world allow this to happen? Entire families wiped out. Parents burying their children; others unable to even do that because their children are buried under rubble.
