Gaza: Children Buried Under Soil and Warnings of Floods and Collapses

For the first time, I'm not here to give you a dose of optimism and hope.

Four children and a pregnant mother came to you.

They are buried beneath the earth, dying, buried alive.

A forsaking nation buried them alive, and a deceitful, lying, hypocritical, unjust world.

Yesterday, I passed through that area. By God, the state of the people broke my heart.

But what can they do? Where can they go?

The oppressor has confined them to that area, a narrow place.

No room, no escape. What made you accept the bitter was nothing but something even more bitter.

Soon, you'll hear a lot of this kind of news.

Landslides, collapses, and floods, and people buried beneath the earth.

And people dying beneath the rubble as homes collapse.

And cold and rain. There is nowhere for people to go. No escape.

They flee from the unknown to the unknown.

From death to death. If we have given up hope of hearing a voice from the graves, we have even more given up hope of hearing humanity in this world speak up about what is happening to the people of Gaza, but we cling to Almighty God.

Lord, just as You parted the sea for Moses, grant us relief.

We are not Moses, and we do not have Moses' staff.

But You are God, You are God.
