Sordid tale of Gaza


Gaza and bloodshed have been synonymous. Bloodstained streets and torn up corpses being published every day on the news. But nothing seems to be fine with life there. Has humanity been lost into oblivion's curse? What's more shocking is, one in every five deaths is a child. Do they even understand what bombs are? Gaza and Palestine are burning... with human wails of anguish echoing in the air, poisoned by hatred. Hatred of Humans. For humans. A nineteen year old boy wrote on his social network page on the 13th of July that he could not fall asleep for a single night fearing when a bomb would finish his home and family.

He ate in fear. He roamed around inside the house in fear. High schools have been shut down and his life had no hope. On the 15th of July, his apprehensions proved true. His home was bombed. Into ashes. The last post of his social network page remained with a few comments of consolation and hope from friends from around the world. They all were proved wrong. Humanity is being proved a joke every single day in Gaza.

The sky is grey with the smoke of the bomber planes and the streets are scarlet with human blood. There is no other colour left in that part of the world now. A little boy was shot dead and the last five words he uttered when the gun was pointed at him were, "I'm going to tell God everything."
