After 15 months of brutal war in Gaza, a ceasefire allows some respite, yet survival does not indicate victory. The article shares the challenging daily life of Palestinians, highlighting the struggle for basic necessities like food and water, where even the most basic comforts became scarce. The narrative emphasizes that many suffer silent deaths from treatable conditions due to lack of medical resources, contrasting this with the attention violent deaths received, showcasing the ongoing human rights crisis in the region.
Staying alive in Gaza is not synonymous with heroism. Escaping death is not a victory. We barely made it. Tens of thousands of Palestinians did not.
The genocidal war closed time into a circle. There was no beginning or end, no destination. We kept going in a circle, searching for the basics.
Aid organisations ran out of rations. At some point, even bug-infested flour became a luxury. Bread became a struggle to find.
The outside world saw violent deaths of Palestinians, but they did not see the silent deaths of the chronically ill from treatable diseases.
