Palestinian activist Refugee in Europe I am freedom fighter I grew up in Gaza' city. I was a stateless child, living with my parents, my uncle, his wife and children, and grandparents in a total of five rooms. I lived through the first intifada. I lived through the constant fear of soldiers raiding our home and arresting my father and uncle. I lived through a shooting near my kindergarten. I lived through my primary school being shot at. I lived through my prep school being bombarded with illegal white phosphorus munitions. Then I experienced the brutality of Israel's response to the second intifada. As I grew into a teenager and then an adult, I lived through countless other assaults, invasions and massacres. The water in Gaza by now is undrinkable. Contaminated and scarce, owing to Israel's brutal siege and bombing of infrastructure, it is causing death and disease. Gazans also get just six to five hours of electricity most days, sometimes not getting any for a full 24 hours. The food insecurity is also high in the Gaza Strip. Farmers are not allowed to grow food on lands in or adjacent to the so-called "buffer zone" along the fence that the Israelis have established for "security" reasons. Approximately 30 percent of Gaza's agricultural land cannot be worked without severe personal risk, causing the loss of livelihood according to PCHR. Fishermen are also unable to throw their nets freely, as the Israeli sea blockade does not allow them to fully use Gaza's territorial waters. My family's house in Gaza is 1.5km away from the border and we regularly hear Israeli tanks shooting at Palestinians. Debris dominates the landscape in Gaza. the Israeli siege prevents construction materials from entering the strip, so after every Israeli assault, damaged and destroyed buildings do not get rebuilt. The blockade not only prevents goods from entering the strip, but also prevents people from leaving this open-air prison. Hospitals are lacking medicine and equipment and yet patients have to wait for permits from the Israeli authorities to leave for treatment elsewhere; many have died waiting. Students who want to study abroad, explore the world and learn are also unable to leave. But alhamdullah we are patient and steadfast and have Faith, Gaza has been besieged by the Israelis for 14 years, and today Gaza, despite its problems, is the most powerful in the world After the limited capabilities in Gaza, they were able to fight the Corona virus Gaza's biggest fear will not be a virus, but Zionism, hunger, bombing, lack of infrastructure, imprisonment, and apathy or indifference from the world. Gaza will be ok without a vaccine..vaccines are poison and only injure and kill.
