its frightening to think that although you may be hearing of them less, the scale of death in gaza has remained unrelenting, unceasing. im scared and saddened at how it has almost become gauche to list the ways in which palestinians are dying, that at some point everyone came to a collective fatigue of posting and seeing dead bodies and stopped sharing them, even though the images are still coming out daily, but it's almost as though no one knows what to do with them anymore.
things i've seen today, january 3rd 2024:
a child in gaza city running from snipers praying under his breath as he passes a road full of corpses, including children
two journalists running through a different road as people lie dying around them. they both stop to ask the dying men (one very elderly) to say their last prayers, but they are too far gone
a girl crushed underneath the rubble in the refugee camp of jabaliya, her ponytail swinging down
a father and his small daughter both killed by a sniper shot to the head lying on a road
some of these people were killed today. some were killed earlier, in the north, but have only just been shared due to communication blackouts. israel's genocide of palestinians continues.
