Palestinian from the Gaza Strip: possibly I'll be next

Abdullah Abu Amra is simply a Palestinian writer surviving in the Gaza Strip. Thanks to occasional communication, we were able to have a short conversation with him and receive movie material and pictures of him.

The conversation took place after the first 2 days of the Israeli army's attack on the Gaza Strip.

Children die, journalists die

First of all, tell us what the situation is. Is it inactive possible to talk of Israel’s siege? What does everyday life look like?

The situation in Gaza is tragic. We are awakened all day by massacres, genocide. The Israeli killing device murders us without mercy. They treat us like we're just numbers. And we Palestinians are not numbers. The situation is terrible. all hour, buildings are equal to the ground. They're trying to destroy... Destroy... I'm sorry, I'm distraught, terrified of the sights I see around Gaza. They're trying to destruct us, our identity in the Gaza Strip.

We are informed that dozens of children have died in Gaza.

They're targeting kids, the elderly. From the beginning of this massacre, 200 to 250 children have been killed. It's genocide. They kill children, older people, everyone. 3 of my writer friends died yesterday. Sajed al-Taweel I'm sorry, I'm devastated.

Yes, we realize you, Abdullah...

– 3 of my friends died yesterday. Sajed al-Taweel, Hisham Alnwajha...

International community without power

How do you think the global community could aid the people of Gaza? How can he act, put force on Israel to halt all this?

– The global community can only condemn, condemn and condemn again. Forgive me, but these condemnations do us no good. We request actions to halt this Nazi Israeli barbarian killing device in Gaza. Buildings, full settlements are completely equal to the ground. We don't request your condemnation or outrage. We request individual to halt that barbarian killing machine. We request actions to prevent the killing of our children, the elderly, the cutting of our trees, the demolition of our identity in Gaza. We're not any number. The global community supports Israel. All he does is condemn and condemn, and we request action. Israeli authorities are violating global law. They commit mass murders, genocides. They deceive the European and global communities. Their communicative is simply a large lie. They kill journalists, all writer who only tells the truth, transmits the Palestinian narrative. They kill them without mercy.

Without electricity or food

What is the situation with electricity supplies in Gaza? Has she been disconnected?

I'll put it ironically. Electricity in Gaza replaces us with phosphor bombs. The road is lit by flashes of falling rockets and dropping bombs from planes. It replaces our electrical lighting. The current is only on for 4 hours a day. There's no electricity for 20 hours.

What about food? Are there any deliveries to Gaza?

– The humanitarian situation in Gaza is terrible. Today, a fewer hours ago, 2 trucks were fired on carrying food and humanitarian aid from Egypt and fuel for power generators. Israeli aircraft fired on these vehicles. They aim to make the situation in Gaza even worse. We live in tragic conditions: without electricity, without food, without fuel, without basic things to live. All this is presently unavailable in Gaza. And all by Nazi, barbaric Israeli authorities.

What about hospitals? I say there's a problem here too...

“Palestinian wellness minister reported that Israeli aviation shot 3 hospitals in Gaza. Indonesia Hospital, al-Aksa infirmary and al-Shirf infirmary were bombed. Israeli aviation is trying to kill us in all possible ways. By denying access to food, hospitals, medicine, deficiency of fuel, electricity. Above all, by fire and bombing – they destruct our homes, residential buildings, hospitals. They don't let us to supply food, fuel, medicine.

Thanks to Poles

Do you think that Egypt, who is an Arab-speaking country, could aid the people of Gaza? You have a line with them, and possibly they could support you.

– We very much appreciate the Egyptians' attempts over the past years and besides now. Since the beginning of the Israeli invasion of Gaza, they have been trying to halt it, not simply condemning it. They want her stopped immediately. The civilian population of Palestine and the Palestinian authorities appreciate that very much. The Egyptians are wonderful and have the possible to halt this invasion.

They are so a hope for the Palestinians in Gaza. Abdullah, thank you for joining us. Would you like to add something for our viewers in Poland? It is very crucial for us to receive real messages from Gaza.

– I would like to tell not only Poles, but people around the world: don't worry about us. We're utilized to the sound of rockets. It reminds us of the melody of a romanticist song. Red, lighted by rockets and fires, the sky is considered a romanticist candle at the end of the day. Don't worry. We're utilized to this tragic reality. We've been surviving like this for years, under genocide. We thank the Poles for their support. I saw pictures from many demonstrations of Poles supporting Palestinians and civilians in Gaza. I want to thank them with all my heart.

It's genocide.

Thank you very much. We want first and foremost the safety of you, your family, relatives, friends in Gaza...

– Anything else I can add? Here in Gaza, we don't know who's next to appear on the next news of the victims. possibly it'll be me, possibly my father, my siblings, brother, sister, nephew, nephew. delight give this to anyone you can reach: delight halt this invasion on us. halt this massacre, this genocide. possibly I'll be with the another dead in a minute...

We hope not. We besides hope to talk again. We'd appreciate the real information from there, from Gaza.

– I'm ready to pass them on at any moment.

Thank you very much, Abdullah.
