A water distribution point in the Nuseirat refugee camp in Gaza was bombed by the Israeli army, killing twelve people including eight children. Sha'da Abu Jabal and her son were among those seeking water and survived the attack. In Gaza, men search for food while women and children seek water amid severe shortages caused by the blockade. The ongoing conflict leaves families desperate, craving clean drinking water while facing the dangers of war. Many, including Sha'da, express their deep anguish over the suffering and survival of their children.
We don't know what exactly we're supposed to face in this war. Are we up against warplanes and death? Or hunger and starvation? Or thirst and the lack of water?
Israel has provided us with every possible path to death. We can no longer bear it. And if we adults can endure, how do we look at our children, watching them cry out in thirst when we can't even give them a sip of water?
