Some 200,000 women and children are left homeless without food or water in northern Gaza by the Israeli army under Benjamin Netanyahu’s orders. Netanyahu has fired Yoav Gallant from his defence minister post and appointed Israel Kaatz who is a firm supporter of Netanyahu’s extermination project in Gaza.

Women and Child deaths in Gaza reach apocalyptic levels

Humanitarian workers now fear for 200,000 lives in the northern section of Gaza where a heavy-duty extermination project is under way. Women and children are terrified with over 1500 slaughtered in the past five weeks, that we know about for sure. Others lie in the rubble nobody can get to. It is unlikely anyone could imagine the extent of this human carnage. 

This part of Gaza is land that the Israeli Cabinet of the genocidal criminal Benjamin Netanyahu wish to steal to make some money by gaining the oil and gas rights and by creating real estate development projects to create twenty thousand nice homes for Israeli settlers. A soldier said this to nurse Ai’sha on his death bed.

Nurse A’isha had found him and tried to save his life. The best she could do was provide local anesthetics for horrid pain and to help the other steps she had taken to stop the bleeding.

According to nurse A’isha, “That dying soldier’s name was also Benjamin. He said that if had not been harmed by some yet unexploded ordnance that he had planned to take his own life. He teared up as he talked about some things he and his fellow soldiers had done.

“When I found him, “said A’isha, “he was covered in blood, dust and debris. We all heard the explosion while we provided care at a broken ruins of a building nearby for a pregnant woman and two children with non-life-threatening injuries, in need of first aid treatment. I was the one who could rush to see if anyone was hurt in the artillery explosion. It sounded like a shell,” noted A’isha.

Ai'sha comforts a wounded Israeli soldier,

A’isha alone in a dark destroyed building comforts an Israeli soldier, mortally injured by an unexploded Israeli ordnance. She could not save him, but she provided comfort, care and helped him die in peace. “This is also what we do for anyone needing our assistance,” she had said. ‘The Nurses Without Borders’, is a unit of The RINJ Foundation.

The picture and its story. Author Behar Abbasi worked with art director Rosa Yamamoto who knows A’isha from Rosa‘s time in Gaza, and from that, created the image art above. Continue reading the story.

“Benjamin’s friends were deceased. I could not save his life,” said A’isha, “even if we had a hospital nearby. He had only moments. I did my best and let him bare his soul in his hope for forgiveness. I assured him that his God would be merciful to those who repent their sins after he asked if he would go to hell. I said no. He was sorry for the orders he followed; he had said to me. I asked him about his family, and he said his mom and his sister had left for America and he was alone. I told him he was not alone. He asked if I was an Angel. He died in peace with his God. People don’t know that’s also one of the things we must do—help people clean their soul with repentance if they are between here and death in His hands. Mercy, comfort and care are parts of our training for working in war zones, and that is good because when we are down on the dirt, bleeding, we are all just children, children with limited lives, and alone with our worrying, what is next?”

Author’s note: We traveled that night, walking our mountain bikes in the darkness to the next family we would see. A fellow worker we had passed said the family was alive and waiting but they had moved to a nearby tent. That was good. The mother was ready to deliver her baby and the family was worried. We would arrive in perfect time, Allah willing. Our colleague handed over some medications that had been requested for the grandfather—60 days of heart meds. This was for chronic illness and would save a life. Our colleague was lucky to get that, we knew.
We stepped up our pace as I thought on A’isha’s words. It dawned on me that I was indeed walking with an Angel—an Angel who had tear tracks in the dust on this beautiful angelic face. I had seen this before. When A’isha could not save a life, she had tried to help save and calm a soul. Like dear Benjamin, I also think Ai’sha is an Angel—a perfect Angel.

The devastation of innocent civilian human lives is hard to explain in words. But the pictures tell the story. Humanitarians must see this every day in the fight to save another woman or child who were alone in their homes when attacked in daytime bombings. The schools are closed—actually there are no schools, they are bombed out—and the children have no safe place to go. Wherever they fall asleep is their temporary home. Many folks live in tents or makeshift lean-to’s on the rubble of what was once their home.

They are the homeless 200,000 of north Gaza Netanyahu is exterminating. Those who try to leave are killed by other IDF forces on the route south. There is no place that is safe in the Gaza Strip and in north Gaza there is no hope for survival—but people cannot leave, as there is no safe place to go.
