‘Life has stopped’

Mohammed, 23: “Life has stopped. No one can go out in this situation. I cannot study, cannot do anything as I usually do. The war has stopped everything!

“Actually, the only thing in my mind now is the safety of my family. I am trying to call everyone I know every day.

“It hurts me deeply to see my people, innocent civilians, bombed and killed without doing any fault.

Everyone here feels that they are a target, so everyone has fear inside them. We are simply trying to live our life, so people try to pretend that everything is okay. But everyone fears more violence.

“We are like one body here, we are all brothers and sisters, we are all one family, everyone looks after everyone. We hope that this war will get over, and Gaza will stand again because we are strong people.”
