Food for thought: Marking
October 7, 2023 might be a good day to establish both a
'the Truth and Reconciliation Commission' and a 'gitmo-camp'
to bring to justice
all the warcriminals of all 'war-loving' parties playing
a role in the attempted
genocide of the Palestinian people.

BBC - Oct 7, 2024
<<Girl who lost eye in Israeli raid that killed father carries 'pain
mountains can't bear'
A young teenage girl - Malak - holds her baby sister, Rahma, on her lap.
Malak is wearing a burgundy headscarf and long-sleeve tunic. One of her
eyes has been replaced with a white sphere. She is looking to the side
of the camera. The baby is holding onto her sister's finger and looking
at it. She is wearing a long-sleeved white top. In the background, their
five siblings sit close together in the corner of a bare room with its
walls painted with square patterns, on large floor cushions. Malak's
father was killed in February, before baby Rahma was born. Suddenly,
Malak stops speaking, leans forward a fraction and kisses the baby
sitting on her lap. Her sister Rahma is fair-haired and has blue eyes.
There is a 13-year age difference between them. But to Malak - who lost
her father in an Israeli attack - the four-month-old baby is an
unimaginably precious gift. "I love her so much, in a way no-one else
knows," she says. The BBC went back to meet Malak and others in Gaza as
the first anniversary of the war approached. We first interviewed Malak
in February, just after the death of her father, Abed-Alrahman al-Najjar,
a 32-year-old farm labourer. The father of seven, believed to have been
hit by shrapnel, was among more than 70 people killed during an Israeli
commando operation to rescue two hostages held by Hamas in Rafah. He was
asleep with his family in a refugee tent when the raid happened. Their
tent was close to the scene of the fighting. Malak lost an eye in the
attack. She also suffered a wound in her side. Back then she was
severely traumatised - when she met a BBC colleague, she called out in
anguish, "I am in pain. I lost my dad. Enough!" Since then, doctors have
fitted a small white sphere in her empty eye socket. It will have to
suffice until the war ends and she hopefully can be fitted with a proper
prosthetic eye. But Malak does not complain about this loss - rather,
she imagines how her father would react if he could hold baby Rahma,
born three months after his death. She smiles and says: "He always
wanted to have a daughter with blue eyes." After what has happened,
Malak wants to train as an eye doctor, to help others who suffer as she
does. The Al-Najjar family sitting next to each other on floor cushions.
The walls are painted in a pattern of different-coloured squares and the
floor is stone tiles. The child on the left sits with their hands
resting on their folded knees, next to them a boy is almost laying down,
then another brother has his legs folded up. A smaller boy sits in front
of them and is smiling to the side of the photo. Their mother sits in
the middle wearing a brown headscarf and tunic, smiling at the baby she
holds in her arms. Next to her is Malak, who is wearing a burgundy
headscarf, with a smaller sibling in front of her with a patterned
t-shirt. The children's mother, Nawara, says she is constantly
terrified. She is sitting on a concrete floor in Khan Younis in southern
Gaza with the baby and her five other younger siblings - three sisters,
two brothers, aged between four and 12 years old. Before the war, their
father worked hard on other people's farms to support his family. "Our
father used to take us out and buy us clothes in the winter. He was so
kind to us. He would deny himself but never us," Malak remembers. Then
came 7 October 2023, and the Hamas assault on Israel in which over 1,200
Israelis were killed - among them, dozens of children. More than 250
hostages were abducted into Gaza. There were 30 children seized,
including a baby of nine months. The attack triggered Israel's ground
invasion, relentless air strikes and fighting with Hamas. Almost 42,000
people have now been killed, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.
About 90% of Gaza's population - nearly two million people - are
displaced, according to the United Nations. Malak's family has been
uprooted four times. "I carry a pain that even mountains cannot bear,"
she says. "We were displaced, and it feels like our whole life is
displacement. We move from place to place."
These are the hostages still held by Hamas
The Israeli government refuses to allow foreign reporters into Gaza, and
the BBC relies on a team of local journalists to cover the humanitarian
crisis. We briefed them with questions and asked them to contact some of
the Palestinians we have spoken to in Gaza over the past 12 months.
These journalists share the fear and displacement of the people they
report on. Displacement means uncertainty. Constant fear. Will the
child, sent for a bucket of water, come home? Or will they return to
find their home flattened, and their family buried under the rubble?
These are the questions that haunt Abed-Alrahman's young widow, Nawara,
every day. "There is always shelling and we are always afraid,
terrified. I constantly hold my children close and hug them," she says.
Nawara, who is wearing a brown headscarf and matching tunic, holds baby
Rahma in her arms in the doorway of their home. The brick looks damaged
and there is graffiti. Looking out of the window, which is open and
covered by a metal grill, are some of the other children. Malak is on
the left, the patterned t-shirt of another child can be seen in the
middle, and the child on the right is kneeling on the window sill and
holding onto the bars.
The family has no income and depends on wider family or charities to
provide food
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) tell people to move to so-called
<humanitarian zones>. People flee but often find no safety. When they
move, the struggle to locate food, firewood and medicine in an
unfamiliar place starts again. The al-Najjars are now back in their
family home, but they know they may have to flee again. That is the
inescapable reality of their lives after a year of war. In the words of
Nawara, there is "no safe place in the Gaza Strip". Nawara complains of
the overflowing sewage in the street. The lack of medical supplies. Like
so many in Gaza, with no income, she depends on what food her in-laws or
charities can supply. There are no schools open for her children, who
are among the 465,000 that Unicef - the UN Children's Fund - estimate
are affected by school closures there. "Our health - my children's and
mine - is bad. They are always sick, always have fevers or diarrhoea.
They are always feeling unwell," Nawara adds. Through all of this, she
holds on to the memory of her husband Abed-Alrahman.
"I look at his picture, and keep talking to him. I imagine he's still
alive," she says. "I keep talking to him on the phone as if he's
replying to me, and I imagine answering back. Every day I sit by myself,
bring up his name, talk to him, and cry. I feel like he's aware of
everything I'm going through."
And Malak too has her daily ritual. She and one of her sisters try to do
a charitable deed each day in memory of their father. When possible,
their aunt makes a gift of food for the dead man. "At night, we put it
out and pray for him," Malak says. The stories of Nawara al-Najjar and
Malak are a fragmentary glimpse into the suffering of the last 12
months. As the war enters its second year, our BBC colleagues on the
ground continue to report on death and displacement. In northern Gaza we
re-visited the family of a disabled man who died after being attacked in
an Israeli search operation>>
