Bombs fell relentlessly, louder and heavier than ever. For me, it wasn’t new. My neighborhood, al-Shuja’iyya, has been bombed countless times—2008, 2012, 2014, 2021—and between these, there were the periodic, moody airstrikes.
This was life in Gaza, which has been an endless cycle of survival and reconstruction. So, when the first airstrikes followed October 7, I thought it was just one chapter of the same grim story. I was wrong.

In Gaza, fear is inescapable
When the Gaza genocide began, I put my trust in God and dismissed fear altogether. But then, trapped under the rubble of my destroyed home, I felt true fear. And it hasn’t left me since.Ahmed Mohammed Jnena (Mondoweiss)
