Samar and Abdulrahman al-Salmi are trying to find proper shelter-Photo-Riash-Al Jazeera
Al Jazeera - Dec 1, 2025 - By Maram Humaid
{From war to winter: Gaza couple wait to welcome baby in flooded tent
Samar and Abdulrahman had everything ready for their new baby. But rains have ruined their plans as they try to survive in Gaza.
Deir el-Balah, Gaza Strip – The first heavy rain of the winter season arrived not as a blessing, but as a new catastrophe for Samar al-Salmi and her family. Early in the morning, torrents of water crashed through their worn-out tent in a displacement camp, jolting them awake as the ground beneath them turned into a muddy pool. All around them, displaced people scrambled to repair what the rain had destroyed, filling waterlogged holes with sand and lifting drenched mattresses into the weak winter sun. For 35-year-old Samar, the timing could not have been worse. She is due to give birth imminently, and everything she has prepared for her newborn daughter was drenched. “All the baby’s clothes were soaked in mud, as you can see,” she says, lifting tiny garments covered in brown stains. “Everything I prepared was submerged, even the diapers and the box of milk formula.” Samar, her husband, and their three children live in a tent in Deir el-Balah, near tents where her mother and siblings live. They are all displaced from their home in Tal al-Hawa in southwest Gaza City, as a result of Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza. “There are no words to describe how I feel right now,” Samar says, her voice almost breaking. “I feel like my mind is going to freeze. How am I supposed to welcome my baby girl like this?” While Samar tries to salvage clothes and blankets, her husband and brothers shovel sand into the pools of water that have swallowed their living space. Mattresses, clothing, and basic belongings lie scattered around them, soaked and unusable. “I put the baby’s hospital bag in my mother’s tent, thinking it would be safe,” she says. “But the rain rushed in there first and flooded everything, including the bag.” “I don’t know where to start,” she adds. “Should I care for my children, whose clothes are full of mud and sand so I need to heat water and bathe them? “Or do I try to dry the mattresses that will be so difficult in this cold? Or should I prepare myself so I’m ready to give birth at any moment?” she asks. Since the war began two years ago, aid organisations have warned that Gaza’s displaced families would face catastrophe each time winter arrived, as they live in thin, tattered tents as a result of a strict Israeli ban on construction materials and caravans entering the Gaza Strip. “A tent is not a solution,” Samar says. “In the summer, it’s unbearably hot, and in the winter, we flood. This is not a life. And winter hasn’t even started yet. What will we do when the real cold arrives?” “At the very least, why weren’t caravans allowed in? Any roof to shelter us until this ends.”
A father overwhelmed
Samar’s husband, Abdulrahman al-Salmi, sits quietly, busy repairing the tents with her brothers. At first, he is so discouraged that he says he doesn’t even feel like talking to Al Jazeera. But gradually, he begins to open up. “As a father, I’m helpless,” the 39-year-old says. “I try to hold our life together from one side, and it collapses on the other. That’s our life during and after the war. We’ve been unable to find any solution.” He recounts the moment Samar called him earlier that morning while he was on his way to his first day of work at a small barbershop. “She was crying and screaming, and everyone around her was screaming,” he recalls. “She told me, ‘Come quickly, the rain has invaded our tent from every direction.’” He dropped everything and ran back under the rain. “The place was completely flooded, like a swimming pool,” he says, tears filling his eyes. “My wife and mother-in-law were screaming, my children were outside shivering from the cold, the tents were flooded, the street was flooded… people were scooping water out of their tents with buckets. Everything was extremely difficult.” For Abdulrahman, the rain feels like the final blow. “We’ve been struggling in everything since the war began, and now the rain has come to finish us off completely.” The father spoke of his immense difficulty in providing essentials for the newborn amid severe shortages and skyrocketing prices. “I bought the diapers for 85 shekels ($26), the same type we used to get for 13 ($4),” he says. “The milk formula is 70 ($21). Even the pacifier is expensive. And now everything we prepared for tomorrow’s delivery is ruined. I don’t know what to do.” The couple cannot help but remember the life they once had; their warm, clean second-floor apartment in Tal al-Hawa, where they once lived a dignified and peaceful life, as they put it. “Now the apartment, the building, and the entire neighbourhood are destroyed,” Samar says. “All our family homes are gone. We have no option but to live in tents.” What terrifies the couple most is welcoming their baby girl into these conditions. Samar is scheduled for a C-section and will return afterwards to the tent. “I never imagined this,” she says softly. “I never imagined I would welcome the daughter we dreamed of under these conditions.” She admits, through guilt, that she sometimes regrets getting pregnant during the war. “In my previous deliveries, I returned from the hospital to my apartment, to my comfortable bed, and I took care of myself and my baby peacefully,” she adds with grief. “Any mother in the world would understand my feelings now, the sensitivity of the last days of pregnancy, the delivery itself, and the early days afterward.”
Endless displacement
Like most families in Gaza, Samar’s has been displaced repeatedly, moving between Khan Younis, Rafah, Nuseirat, and Deir el-Balah. “I fled to my family’s home, then my uncle’s home, then my husband’s family. Every house we fled to is now destroyed, and everyone is homeless,” Samar says. Their children, Mohammad, seven, Kinan, five, and Yaman, three, have suffered the most. “Look at them,” she says. “They’re shivering from the cold. They don’t have enough clothes. And the laundry I just washed is covered in mud again.” A few days ago, the children needed to be taken to the hospital after being bitten by insects inside the camp. Cold and illness stalk them every night. “The older boy couldn’t sleep from stomach pain,” Abdulrahman says. “I covered him and covered him, but it didn’t help. There are no blankets … nothing.” For Samar, even the ceasefire has brought no comfort. She rejects the narrative that the war has calmed down. To her, the war never stopped. “They say the war is over. Where is it over?” Samar asks. “Every day there is bombing, every day there are martyrs, and every day we drown and suffer. This is the beginning of a new war, not the end.”
A plea for shelter
Above all, the couple wants only one thing: dignity. “Even caravans are not a real solution; they’re temporary,” Samar says. “We are human beings. We had homes. Our demand is to rebuild our homes.” Her final plea is directed at humanitarian organisations. “We need clothes, mattresses, blankets. Everything is ruined. We need someone to stand with us. We need a place to shelter us. It’s impossible to keep living on a sheet of plastic.” As for Abdulrahman, he sums up their reality with a single sentence as he spreads another layer of sand:
“Honestly… we’ve become bodies without souls.”} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2025/12/1/from-war-to-winter-gaza-couple-wait-to-welcome-baby-in-flooded-tent

{New Palestine Action Case Judge Has Ties to Pro-Israel Lobby: Report
Dame Victoria Sharp’s family is connected to former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, “to prominent pro-Israel lobbyist and major Labour Party donor Trevor Chinn.”
London (QNN)- After the judge who was expected to hear a legal challenge to the ban on Palestine Action was removed from the case at the last minute without explanation, a new judge with ties to the pro-Israel lobby is leading the new panel on the case, Electronic Intifada revealed. Concerns have been raised after Justice Martin Chamberlain, the judge due to hear the legal challenge, was removed on Wednesday from the case at the last minute without explanation and which is unusual. Chamberlain, a judge “widely respected for his fairness and independence”, has been removed from significant cases concerning Palestine, according to UK-based activist group Defend Our Juries, which has been campaigning against the ban on Palestine Action. According to Defend Our Juries, concerns are amplified because two of the three replacement judges have links that “at least raise the appearance of a conflict of interest”. Dame Victoria Sharp’s family is connected to former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, “to prominent pro-Israel lobbyist and major Labour Party donor Trevor Chinn, and the group Quilliam, which has been widely condemned as Islamophobic and for supporting [British far-right activist] Tommy Robinson”, said Defend Our Juries, according to The Guardian. Emily Apple, spokesperson for Campaign Against Arms Trade, said that Sharp and Swift’s backgrounds raise “serious questions around the lack of impartiality and transparency in our judicial system, and whether this is now a pattern in significant legal cases concerning Palestine”. Tayab Ali, a partner at the law firm Bindmans, which is not involved in the Palestine Action case, but acted in the F-35 judicial review, said: “A sudden and unexplained shift from the single judge who already had conduct of the case to an entirely new panel of three is deeply concerning, particularly without any stated justification.”
“In a matter as sensitive as this, involving allegations linked to Palestine and public-interest activism of significant constitutional importance, the integrity and transparency of the judicial process must be beyond question. At the very least, the court should provide a clear and credible explanation for such a change.” The Electronic Intifada on November 27 revealed that Victoria Sharp’s twin brother Richard Sharp sits on the board of trustees of charity One Million Mentors alongside Trevor Chinn, a key British funder of pro-Israel groups. Richard Sharp is a former chairperson of the BBC. When he was appointed in 2021, the BBC reported that “Sharp’s heritage is Jewish and he is considered by those who know him broadly pro-Israel. He has a twin sister, Victoria, who is a senior judge.”
As a barrister in the 1980s, Victoria Sharp was instructed by Mishcon de Reya, a law firm which later represented the Israeli government and pro-Israel groups in the UK and has worked to fight boycotts of Israel in the courts. In a case she took on instruction from founder Victor Mishcon, starting in 1987, she is reportedto have been one of the “principal advisers” to newspaper tycoon Robert Maxwell – who was later revealed to have been a spy for Israel.
Groups backed by Chinn include Labour Friends of Israel.
When the new Labour government came into office last year, an analysis by Declassified UKfound that half of Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s cabinet had been funded by the Israel lobby, and that one of the key donors was Chinn. “I’ve spent my entire life working for Israel,” Chinn told a meeting organized by LFI in 2013. In January, Chinn was awarded the Medal of Honor by the Israeli president for his “contribution to Israel and the Jewish people.” His removal also happened earlier this year in the case led by Palestinian human rights group Al-Haq against the British government for its role in exporting F-35 bomber parts to Israel.  Defend Our Juries said in a statement that the replacement “makes it hard not to draw the conclusion that this is a stitch-up.” Justice Chamberlain “had been consistently confirmed as the judge presiding over this judicial review,” the spokesperson said. “If Dame Sharp believed a panel of judges was necessary, the usual process would have been to add judges to sit alongside him, not to remove Chamberlain entirely.” “The judiciary is meant to be independent of political influence. Yet with no transparency around this decision,” they said, “public confidence is being seriously undermined. That two of the replacement judges have links which at least raise the appearance of a conflict of interest only deepens these concerns. This includes Dame Sharp’s family connections to Boris Johnson, to prominent pro-Israel lobbyist and major Labour Party donor Trevor Chinn.” The Electronic Intifada also reported Sharp’s work for Robert Maxwell who died in mysterious circumstances in 1991 and was later reported to have been a spy for Israel. Justice Jonathan Swift, meanwhile, has “represented the Home Office, which is the defendant in this judicial review” on numerous occasions, according to Defend Our Juries. The interior ministry, or Home Office, proscribed the pro-Palestinian group in July, days after activists protesting against Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza broke into an air force base in southern England. Prosecutors have said they caused an estimated 7 million pounds ($9.3m) damage to two aircraft at the base. Since the proscription – which makes being a member of Palestine Action or inviting support for it a serious criminal offence punishable by up to 14 years in prison – came into effect, at least 2,300 people have been arrested, according to protest organisers Defend Our Juries. The proscription under the Terrorism Act 2000 means the group has been added to a list that also includes armed organisations like al-Qaeda and ISIL (ISIS). United Nations human rights chief Volker Turk said the ban “appears disproportionate and unnecessary”, while Europe’s human rights watchdog, the Council of Europe, criticised “excessive limits” on the right to protest. Set up in 2020, Palestine Action’s stated goal on its now-blocked website is to end “global participation in Israel’s genocidal and apartheid regime”. It has mainly targeted weapons factories, especially those belonging to the Israeli arms manufacturer Elbit Systems.} Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=66810&slug=new-palestine-action-case-judge-has-ties-to-pro-israel-lobby-report

Two Child Brothers Killed

{Israel Claimed They Were “Posing Threat”: Two Child Brothers Killed by Israeli Forces in Gaza While Gathering Firewood
Israeli forces killed two Palestinian brothers, aged 11 and 8, in southern Gaza on Saturday while they were collecting firewood for their wheelchair-bound father.
Gaza (QNN)- Israeli forces killed two Palestinian brothers, aged 11 and 8, in southern Gaza on Saturday while they were collecting firewood for their wheelchair-bound father. The military claimed that the boys were “two suspects posing an immediate threat” and were therefore “eliminated.” The attack took place on Saturday when Israeli forces killed the two brothers in a drone attack on the town of Bani Suheila, east of Khan Younis in southern Gaza. Local sources confirmed that Israeli drones dropped a bomb close to the al-Farabi School, a school sheltering displaced families, killing the two children, Juma, 8, and Fadi Tamer Abu Assi, 11. The attack was behind the so-called “yellow line", a vague, invisible demarcation line separating the Israeli occupation forces from certain areas of Gaza, while maintaining control over approximately 50% of the enclave. Sources added the two brothers were not even aware of the existence of the invisible line. According to family members, they were gathering firewood for their injured wheelchair-bound father. Their uncle told local media: "They are children...what did they do? They do not have missiles or bombs, they went to gather wood for their father so he can start a fire."
However, in a statement on X, the Israeli military claimed the “two suspects carried out suspicious activities” and were “posing an immediate threat” and thus “eliminated”. The killings sparked outrage on social media, where pro-Palestine users flooded the post with a photo of the two children, highlighting their ages to readers. “Israel labeled them “terrorists,” as it routinely does to Palestinians simply trying to survive the genocide inflicted upon them by Israel,” one users wrote. The attack comes despite the ceasefire agreement which took effect on October 10 and has been violated over 590 times by Israel. According to the Gaza Government Media Office on Sunday, about 357 civilians have been killed and 903 others injured in these violations, with children, women and the elderly accounting for the majority of the victims.} Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=66809&slug=israel-claimed-they-were-posing-threat-two-child-brothers-killed-by-israeli-forces-in-gaza-while-gathering-firewood

UK Confirms British Soldiers Trained in Israel During Gaza Genocide
London (QNN)- The UK government has confirmed that British soldiers received training in Israel during the two-year genocide in Gaza, which has killed more than 70,000 Palestinians, marking the first official admission of a UK military presence in Israeli military academies. In response to a parliamentary question tabled by Zarah Sultana, a former Labour MP turned independent, on November 18, Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Veterans Al Carns said on Wednesday that "fewer than five British Armed Forces personnel have studied on educational staff courses in Israel since October 2023”, Declassified UK revealed, exposing a new layer of British military collaboration with Israel amid the Gaza genocide. Charlie Herbert, a retired British army general, told Declassified: “It is absolutely extraordinary to think that UK military personnel have been undertaking military education or training courses in Israel over the past two years. “Given the credible allegations of war crimes against the political and military leadership of the IDF, all such exchanges should have immediately ceased.” “It does our armed forces a huge disservice to be associated with the IDF, given the conduct of the IDF in Gaza since late 2023 and to think that we are training in Israel only adds to the accusations of UK complicity in this genocide”. In July, it was also revealed that Israeli soldiers have trained in Britain at the prestigious Royal College of Defence Studies (RCDS), one of Britain’s most eminent military academies, in 2023 and 2024. In August, the UK confirmed Royal Air Force surveillance planes have been conducting surveillance flights over Gaza since the start of the genocide with the coordination with Israeli forces raising concerns about complicity in war crimes. The UK has also supplied Israel with arms during the course of its assault on Gaza, which has killed more than 70,000 Palestinians and has involved the ethnic cleansing of most Palestinians from their homes. Around 80 percent of buildings and homes have been destroyed. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has deemed that there is a "plausible" case for genocide by Israel in the besieged Palestinian territory. The International Criminal Court (ICC) has also issued arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defence minister, Yoav Gallant, for crimes against humanity and war crimes in Gaza.} Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=66808&slug=uk-confirms-british-soldiers-trained-in-israel-during-gaza-genocide

{Israel’s genocidal war forces Gaza children into work as breadwinners
Children as young as eight have been pushed into work for their families’ survival, losing their education and childhood.
Carrying thermoses through the streets of Gaza City, Palestinian teenager Mohammed Ashour calls out to passersby, hoping they might buy a cup of his coffee.
At 15, Mohammed should be in school with his peers, but since his father was killed in Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, he has been forced to abandon his education and shoulder responsibilities as the breadwinner for his family. “This burden isn’t mine to carry,” the coffee vendor tells Al Jazeera. “This work – carrying thermoses, cups, going back and forth? It’s too much. I’m exhausted, but I have to do it to support my siblings.” Mohammed is one of a growing number of Palestinian children in Gaza who have been forced into work as a result of Israel’s war. With at least 39,000 children having lost one or both parents in the war, and the enclave’s economy devastated by the conflict, children as young as eight have been pushed into work for their families’ survival – losing not only their education, but their childhoods. Mohammed’s mother, Atad Ashour, says she knows her son should be in school, but that they have no alternative. “After his father was killed, we were left with no income at all,” she said. She said Mohammed’s older brothers were unable to find jobs, and she was unable to provide the family with anything. “He’s still a child, but he’s carrying a responsibility that isn’t his,” she said. “The circumstances pushed us into this.”
Children bear the brunt
Aid agencies in Gaza say children have borne the brunt of the war, forcing them into additional responsibilities that would normally be the domain of adults.
“We’re seeing more children scavenging through waste, looking for pieces of scrap or firewood to sell, children selling coffee,” said UNICEF spokesperson Tess Ingram. She said the organisation was working with partners “to do everything we can to try and stop these negative coping mechanisms, including giving families cash assistance, educating them about the risks of child labour and trying to help families resume employment”. Speaking from Ramallah in the occupied West Bank, Rachel Cummings, Gaza humanitarian director for Save the Children, said the family breakdown caused by the war was also driving children into roles caring for siblings or older family members. “The whole family structure has been disrupted in Gaza and children are very vulnerable,” she said. “This very precarious situation is really taking its toll.”
More than 600,000 out of school
The statistics paint a bleak picture of the effect of the war on children in Gaza, where nearly half the population is under 18. More than 660,000 children are out of formal education, while an estimated 132,000 face the risk of acute malnutrition, according to Save the Children. Reporting from Gaza City, Al Jazeera’s Hind Khoudary said the loss of parental breadwinners, in particular, had forced Gaza’s children into doing tasks “that they were not supposed to be doing”. “They were supposed to be in school, playing with their friends,” she said. “The war’s toll on Palestinian children has been massive.” As he walks home at the end of another long day earning money for his family, Mohammed walks past a school, wishing he were still a student. “If my father were alive, you would find me at home going to school,” he says.} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/12/1/israels-genocidal-war-forces-gaza-children-into-work-as-breadwinners

{Israelis protest in Tel Aviv after Netanyahu seeks pardon on fraud cases
Protesters rally outside President Isaac Herzog’s home demanding he reject the prime minister’s request for a pardon. Angry crowds of Israelis have rallied outside President Isaac Herzog’s home in Tel Aviv, protesting against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s petition for a full pardon from corruption charges.
The protest on Sunday night came hours after Netanyahu, 76, sought the presidential pardon in his long-running corruption trial, without admitting guilt or expressing remorse. Opposition lawmakers, including Naama Lazimi, joined dozens of activists at the protest – held under the slogan “Pardon = Banana Republic” – outside Herzog’s private home, demanding he reject the request. One protester dressed up as Netanyahu in an orange prison-style jumpsuit, while others stood behind a large pile of bananas and a sign that said “pardon” on it. “He is asking that his trial will be completely cancelled without taking any responsibility, without paying the price for how he tore up this country,” said prominent antigovernment activist Shikma Bressler. “People of Israel understand what is at stake, and it really is the future of our country,” she added. Netanyahu, the country’s longest-serving prime minister, has been on trial for five years on three separate cases of corruption, including charges of bribery, fraud and breach of trust. In one case, Netanyahu and his wife, Sara, are accused in one case of accepting more than $260,000 worth of luxury goods, such as cigars, jewellery and champagne, from billionaires in exchange for political favours. He is also accused of attempting to negotiate more favourable coverage from two Israeli media outlets in two other cases. Netanyahu denies the charges, and his lawyers said in a 111-page letter to the president’s office that the prime minister still believes the legal proceedings would result in a complete acquittal. In a brief video statement, Netanyahu said he wanted to see the process through, “but the security and political reality – the national interest – dictate otherwise”. “The continuation of the trial is tearing us apart from within, arousing fierce divisions, intensifying rifts,” he added.} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/12/1/israelis-protest-in-tel-aviv-after-netanyahu-seeks-pardon-on-fraud-cases

Israel has violated the Gaza ceasefire at least 591 times in 50 days.
Gaza (QNN)- Israel has violated the Gaza ceasefire at least 591 times in 50 days, killing hundreds of Palestinians since the truce came into effect on 10 October, according to the Gaza Government Media Office on Sunday. The Office said about 357 civilians have been killed and 903 others injured in the violations, with children, women and the elderly accounting for the majority of the victims. The Office condemned “in the strongest terms the continued serious and systematic violations of the ceasefire agreement by the Israeli occupation authorities,” adding “these violations constitute a flagrant breach of international humanitarian law and the humanitarian protocol attached to the agreement.” The Office added Israel shot at civilians 164 times, raided residential areas beyond the “yellow line” 25 times, bombed and shelled Gaza 280 times, and demolished people’s properties on 118 occasions. It added that Israel has also abducted 38 Palestinians from Gaza during the 50 days. The most recent was on Saturday when Israeli forces killed two brothers in a drone attack on the town of Bani Suheila, east of Khan Younis in southern Gaza. Local sources confirmed that Israeli drones dropped a bomb near al-Farabi School, killing the two children, Juma and Fadi Tamer Abu Assi, while they were collecting firewood for their wheelchair-bound father.

The Palestinian Health Ministry said over 70,100 Palestinians have been killed since the start of the genocide in Ocotber 2023. Israel has also continued to block vital humanitarian aid and destroy infrastructure across the Strip. “The humanitarian situation in Gaza is deteriorating at an unprecedented rate, and the Israeli aggression has destroyed infrastructure and essential services,” Ismail al-Thawabta, director of the office, said on Friday.} Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=66807&slug=israel-has-violated-gaza-ceasefire-about-591-times-in-50-days-killing-hundreds

{Palestinian Journalist Exposes Sexual Torture by Israeli Soldiers in Sde Teiman Camp
A journalist revealed that Israeli soldiers raped and tortured him with a trained dog inside Sde Teiman camp, leaving him in severe psychological shock for more than two months, according to the Palestinian Center for Journalists’ Protection.
Gaza (QNN)-  The Palestinian Center for Journalists’ Protection revealed a shocking testimony from a journalist who revealed that he faced rape and sexual torture by a trained dog during his detention in Israel’s Sde Teiman camp. The center says the journalist suffered a severe psychological collapse that lasted more than two months. The journalist did not share his real name. He feared for the safety of his family. He spent 20 months in Israeli prisons, including three months in Sde Teiman and one month in Ofer. Israeli forces kidnapped him on 18 March 2024. The raid targeted Gaza’s Al-Shifa Medical Complex. He was working at the time. He wore his press vest and carried his camera. The center described the case as one of the most dangerous crimes committed against journalists in Israeli prisons. The journalist says he and seven other detainees faced group sexual assaults for almost three minutes. Soldiers tied them, blindfolded them, and dragged them to an isolated area inside the camp. He later suffered a mental and nervous breakdown. He lost his ability to focus or perceive normally for more than two months. Doctors and legal experts reviewed the testimony. They confirmed that the symptoms match acute stress disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder. He said the torture was not an isolated act. He described a systematic policy aimed at breaking prisoners’ will. He also said Israeli forces used dogs as tools of torture. Soldiers carried out harsh interrogations. They tied him, blindfolded him, and moved him between multiple detention sites in military trucks. The journalist spent around 100 days in Sde Teiman. He described the conditions as “inhuman.” He mentioned physical and psychological torture, sleep deprivation, starvation, religious insults, lack of medical care, and electric shocks. He stressed that the sexual assault was the most severe crime he endured. He said the violations happened in isolated rooms, in front of Israeli soldiers and officers, with no oversight or accountability. The journalist also said that the torture intensified after soldiers learned he was a journalist. They accused him of spreading “misleading information.” They threatened him with a life sentence. His testimony described overcrowded cells, lack of hygiene, disease outbreaks, limited food and water, a ban on prayer, and humiliation. He also said he witnessed the deaths of detainees, including academics and doctors, in unexplained circumstances. “We spent autumn and winter wearing torn summer clothes. We slept on the floor,” he said. “We entered these prisons alive. We left with exhausted bodies and broken souls. Those who did not die inside came out shattered forever.” The Palestinian Center for Journalists’ Protection says the crime constitutes rape and sexual torture under the 1984 Convention Against Torture. It says the act is also a war crime under Article 8 of the Rome Statute and a crime against humanity under Article 7 if proven systematic and repeated. The center says it is also a grave violation of Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions, and a direct attack on journalists as protected civilians. The center called for the case to be submitted to the International Criminal Court. It demanded an urgent and independent investigation, prosecution of those responsible, medical and psychological treatment for survivors, and protection for witnesses. It stressed that Palestinian journalists’ testimonies form a growing body of evidence of systematic torture in Israeli prisons. Last year, a video from Sde Teiman showing Israeli soldiers torturing a Palestinian detainee caused a major political and military shock worldwide. The leaked footage showed five soldiers assaulting a handcuffed Palestinian man sexually and physically. The scandal forced the removal of Israel’s military prosecutor Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the leak “the biggest public relations attack” Israel had faced since its establishment. Human rights groups reported this month that 98 Palestinians have died in Israeli prisons and detention centers since 7 October 2023. Organizations say the number is unprecedented and reflects a collapse in detention standards and almost zero medical and legal oversight.} Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=66806&slug=palestinian-journalist-exposes-sexual-torture-by-israeli-soldiers-in-sde-teiman-camp


Quds News - Nov 30, 2025 - By: Yasmin Abu Shammala
{“Every Place Longs for You”: A Journey Through Gaza's Geography of Loss
As Gaza’s landscape turns into tents and rubble, Yasmin Abu Shammala, a displaced journalist, travels the old coastal road to confront the silence left by vanished schools, ruined cafés, and the memories buried beneath them.
A person is usually born into a community, one life folded into the rhythm of many. But here in Gaza, things have always been different.  We are born not merely into a community, but as a community, as roots pressed deep into the soil of this place. From the summer sea to the winter fire pit, from the spring chrysanthemums to the autumn olive press, Gaza shapes us in every season, in calm and in war, though calm has never truly lived here since the day I opened my eyes to this land. A Gazan sees themselves reflected in Gaza’s stones, its trees, its sky, even the air that fills its lungs. It is a bond no words can untangle, not even we, who feel it in our bones, can fully describe it. Here, we cling to our places the way others cling to their children.If the world wouldn’t call us mad, we would list our places among our sons and daughters, answering “three, and a home overlooking Martyrs’ (Al-Shuhada’a) Square” when asked how many we are. But the world has already given us enough labels, and madness would simply be another. For two years, since October 2023, Israel has harmed us in our children, and in the places we carried like children. Losing a child tears away a piece of the soul; losing both children and places turns a person into a moving shell. Two years of erasure fed on what remained of us. Today, after two years exiled in southern Gaza, unable to see the face of my own city, I decide to walk toward the scattered pieces of me in the north. They say distance kills love, but Israel has already killed us in every way imaginable, including killing us with longing: longing for those taken, for those we cannot reach, for the places that were our first instinct of belonging. And so I begin my return to Gaza, by walking the long, wounded length of al-Rasheed Street…
Stepping Into What Was Lost
I step into al-Rasheed Street, the long shoreline road that once threaded the city together like a living artery. Before the genocidal war, this street felt like Gaza’s quiet promise: a place where the sea leaned close enough to touch your breath, where cafés glowed in soft colors at night, and where every passing student, worker, and family carried the calm that only water can give. I used to wait for my university rides just to pass through this road, to watch the waves rise and fall beside the wheels of passing taxis, to catch the faint scent of cardamom coffee drifting from beachfront kiosks, to feel the city open around me in a rare moment of unburdened life. But today, al-Rasheed feels like it has forgotten how to breathe. The cafés are bones. The rest-stops are ash. The sea is blocked by rows of tents, white, torn, heavy with salt and sorrow. A road that once carried the city’s leisure has become the line Israel used to divide Gaza’s body in half: north from south, home from exile. The driver says nothing, but the radio fills the silence. “Every place longs for you,” an old song for Mohammed Abdu. The lyrics settle over the ruins outside my window like dust, and something inside me tightens. I close my eyes. For a moment, I hear only the song and the sea, both calling the names of places I haven’t seen in two years. I open my eyes as the song fades, but the ache it leaves behind lingers like humidity. The car is still moving along al-Rasheed Street, its windows framing a coastline that no longer recognizes itself. The driver keeps his eyes on the road; the radio murmurs low, replaying the line, “Every place longs for you,” as if it were a prayer we are no longer sure how to say out loud. Beside me sits a man holding a small cardboard box on his knees, filled with socks, batteries, cheap hairclips, and a few small bags of sugar. The kind of mixed, fragile stock that tells you more about survival than any report ever could. I do a double take before I realize I know that I am sitting beside a teacher.
It’s Hussam Hijazi.
Years ago, he was a respected teacher in a school in western Gaza. Now he adjusts the box on his lap so it doesn’t slide with every bump in the road. He notices my gaze and offers a tired, apologetic half-smile, as if he owes me an explanation for the box between us. “The war pushed me here,” he says quietly, his voice almost drowned by the hum of the engine. “I was a teacher for fifteen years. Fifteen.” He repeats the number like someone reciting a verse they can’t quite let go of. “When the schools closed, when salaries stopped, when survival became the only curriculum left… I had no choice.” He tilts his head toward the window, toward the long line of al-Rasheed stretching ahead of us. “This was the road I took to school every day,” he adds. “Now it’s the road I take to find whatever merchandise is cheapest, so I can sell enough to buy bread.” There is no anger in his tone, only a deep exhaustion, and a thin thread of dignity holding itself together in his posture, in the way he keeps one careful hand on the box as if it were the last fragile shape of his old life. For a moment, we sit in silence. The car rattles forward. Outside, the tents blur past like a second, makeshift city. Hussam lets out a short, humorless laugh, and I feel something pull inside my chest, the sense that Gaza has not only displaced its people, but displaced them from the roles they were born to fill. When the car finally slows near the broken frame of the Palestinian Legislative Council, I step out. The air outside is heavier, but my steps are surer. Some destinations demand the dignity of arriving on foot. I close the door behind me, leaving Hussam to continue his search for cheaper goods, and begin walking toward the place that once held this city’s mind and conversation:
Rashad al-Shawa Cultural Center.
Rashad al-Shawa Center: A City Without Its Stage
The closer I get to Rashad al-Shawa Cultural Center, the more the air changes. It becomes heavier, as though grief has density here, as though memory thickens into something you must wade through. This center was once Gaza’s crown, its intellectual gateway, the hall where international delegations sat, where young people filled notebooks, where exhibitions stretched across polished floors. I attended conferences here, hurried between its doors, listened to voices that dared to imagine Gaza as part of the world. Now, when I stand before it, it takes me a moment to realize I’m in the right place. The great hall is gone. The façade is fractured. And where the entrance once welcomed thousands, there are tents, dozens of them, pitched against walls that survived only halfway. Inside one of these tents, I meet Abeer Dheifallah, sitting on a thin mattress that barely shields her from the cold ground. She looks at the ruins around her and shakes her head slowly. “I used to enter this building with awe,” she says. “It made me feel small in a good way, small because Gaza was grand. I never imagined I would be living inside a tent here, in the same place I once entered dressed for conferences and ceremonies.” Her voice breaks when she adds, “I feel like the center is ashamed of what we have become, or maybe I am ashamed that I have no walls to hide my grief.” Just beyond the tents stands al-Karmel Secondary School for Boys, directly opposite al-Shawa Center. My father spent years teaching Arabic there, years shaping students who went on to rank among Palestine’s highest achievers in national exams. Today, the schoolyard is a field of tents. The classrooms are unrecognizable. My father refuses to walk near it; he avoids its name in conversation. He fears that seeing what it has become will pierce through layers of grief he carefully folded away. And he is not alone. According to updated educational damage assessments, more than 80% of Gaza’s schools have been destroyed or severely damaged, and over 625,000 students lost access to formal education. The numbers are staggering, yet they still feel too small to capture what it means when the place where your father once shaped futures becomes a shelter without books, without teachers, without children. I cannot stand here any longer. I turn south, walking toward a place that once tasted like celebration.
Abu al-Saud Sweets, The Sweetness That Tried to Live
The smell reaches me before the storefront does, a memory, not a scent. Warm sugar. Melted cheese. Semolina kissed by heat. Abu al-Saud, Gaza’s most beloved dessert shop, sits half-rebuilt, half-broken, but undeniably alive. It was tradition: every person passing by would stop for knafeh, whether they planned to or not. It was the dessert people carried abroad as gifts, the taste that said “Gaza” before any word could. During the first day of the genocide, Abu al-Saud voluntarily shut its doors, not because ingredients ran out, but out of mourning for the martyrs, as the shop’s manager, Khaled Abu Ouda, told me. Then came the strike. The ovens were shattered, the counters burned, the copper trays twisted. But the moment a temporary truce was announced, Abu al-Saud reopened. Khaled described it simply: “When I saw the crowds coming back, more than before, it felt, for a moment, like the war had ended.” I stand before the shop and feel the ache of something too tender to touch. I cannot enter. Sweetness today feels like a betrayal. I leave the lingering scent behind and continue walking toward where the city once rested.
The Vanishing of Unknown Soldier Square
Saha al-Jundi al-Majhoul, The Unknown Soldier Square, was once the wide breath between Gaza’s errands. The place we stopped to rest after shopping in Rimal. The place we crossed on our way to work. The place we bought Gaza-style iced drinks or kharroub before continuing our day.  For a full year of my life, I passed through this square daily as a marketing content writer working nearby. Today, as I reach its edges, I cannot recognize it. The square is gone, not metaphorically, but literally buried under tent after tent after tent. There is no room to walk. No pigeons. No vendors spinning pink cotton candy. No children weaving through legs. Just fabric walls and ropes and exhaustion. And then, quietly, grief takes a new shape inside me. Because from here, I walk toward the building where I worked for the first time, my first job, my first salary, my first steps into adulthood.
I found it collapsed.
The place where I learned how to write professionally, where I grew into myself, where coworkers became friends, gone. According to recent economic assessments, over 70% of Gaza’s private businesses have been destroyed, and more than 85% of the workforce has lost stable employment. Entire sectors vanished: marketing, IT, media, design, retail, too many to count. These numbers sit heavily on the rubble where my workplace once stood, because now they have a face. Mine.
I can’t stay here.
I continue walking toward a familiar landmark of comfort.
The Last Taste of Normal, Muraṭibat Kazem
For a fleeting moment, I almost smile.
Because Kazem’s Ice Drink Shop, Muraṭibat Kazem, is still operating. He still accepts the small 10-shekel coin that most shops refuse due to inflation and scarcity. He still uses the same recipe he used before the war. But when I take a sip, something inside me folds. My taste buds recognize the flavor, but my heart does not recognize the world around it. Maybe it’s because every place in Gaza carries ghosts now. Kazem’s iced drink holds memories of people who are no longer here to drink it with me. And joy, when tied to faces that war has erased, becomes something sharp rather than sweet.
I leave silently. Some losses are too loud to swallow. Returning South, A Road That No Longer Knows Us
The sun begins to sink as I make my way back toward al-Rasheed Street. This time, I walk slowly, unwilling to rush through the city that has already lost too much. On my way back south, the bus I’m riding in jolts to a stop. A crowd is arguing over space in a small minibus. I look out the window and my breath catches, my former university professor is among them. Before the war, he drove to campus in his private car, respected, dignified, steady. Today, he is forced to fight for a seat in an overcrowded shared bus, because survival has turned every meter of asphalt into a battlefield. I turn my face away quickly, pretending not to recognize him, giving him the dignity the war has stolen. Recent human-impact reports show that more than 60% of Gaza’s academics and university employees have lost their jobs or were forced into informal labor, selling vegetables, repairing shoes, working construction, anything that might keep a family alive for one more week.
He is not alone.
None of us are.
This Pain Has No Ending Yet
As Gaza fades into the darkness behind me, I can feel the weight of everything I saw pressing into my lungs. The tents. The ruins. The places that once held our laughter. The places that raised our parents. The places that shaped who we became. We keep telling ourselves we will return to these places when the war ends,  but today taught me a different truth: we are returning even as we are breaking. This genocide did not only kill people. It killed the geography of our memories. It killed our places, which for Gazans, is another form of killing us. Tonight, as I arrive back in the south, the nightmare does not loosen its grip. We still wake up from dreams of those we lost. Now we also wake up from dreams of the streets and buildings that raised us.} Videos - Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=66799&slug=every-place-longs-for-you-a-journey-through-gazas-geography-of-loss
