Watan-Activists on social media have been sharing an impactful video of a Palestinian man displaced from Gaza, a result of the ongoing Israeli war in the region. In the video, he talks about his wishes for the new year 2024.

In response to a question from a Palestinian activist in the video about his wish for the new year 2024, the displaced Palestinian man said, “My wish is one thing, protection is from God, and with a bag of flour, we feed our children.”

Protection is from God, and with a bag of flour, we feed our children

The Israeli war, the fiercest in the history of the conflict since the Palestinian Nakba in 1948, continues in Gaza for its 87th consecutive day.

The residents of the Gaza Strip are suffering from a lack of basic necessities for survival, with no electricity, water, internet, or food supplies such as flour. This situation is exacerbated by the Israeli blockade imposed on the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the war on October 7th of the previous year.

The toll of the Israeli war on Gaza

The Israeli occupation has committed over 1700 massacres against civilians, including children, women, and the elderly, in various parts of the Gaza Strip. This has been carried out through the bombing of homes, residential areas, mosques, churches, and hospitals, with no prior warning to the inhabitants.

It is worth noting that the toll of the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip has reached over 21,000 Palestinians, the majority of whom are civilians, including children and women. Additionally, around 56,000 others have been injured with various wounds, according to statistics released by the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza as of now.
