Deir al-Balah, central Gaza Strip – 14 January 2025
1. Various of Massa the baby, who was born in first day of the war, playing with her mother inside their tent
2. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Rola Saqer, a displaced woman from Beit Lahiya:
"I was afraid of losing her during the war, and even now, I’m still afraid of losing my daughter—whether to illness or war. I’m constantly worried about her. I run from hospital to hospital trying to get her better."
3. Various of Rola showing her daughter Massa video on her mobile
4. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Rola Saqer, a displaced woman from Beit Lahiya:
"At the start of the war, I was afraid to take her to the hospital because of the bombings. Even in the hospitals, pediatric doctors were focused more on the wounded and the martyrs than on the children. It was a struggle to manage her treatments and find her medications. All of this has affected her. To this day, she still cannot walk, and she didn’t even have teeth until recently."
5. Various of Rola helping her daughter to walk inside their tent
6. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Rola Saqer, a displaced woman from Beit Lahiya:
"We are desperately waiting for the truce, so we can finally live with some safety and stability. Yes, our homes in the north were destroyed, but at least there would be no more bombings, no aircraft overhead, no gunboats firing. Even if we live in a tent, at least we could sleep in peace. I just want to provide for my daughter—if they open the crossing points, I could feed her. Right now, I can’t even afford to give her a loaf of bread. That’s the least I should be able to do for her, but right now, I have nothing."
7. Reflection of Rola holding her daughter in the mirror
8. Various of people walking in the street
9. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Rami Abu Shera, displaced man from Khan Younis:
"We’re waiting for the moment when no one is killed, injured, or displaced, when there is no more destruction. Enough is enough. We are exhausted. We don’t have the strength to bear this anymore. Our lives are filled with destruction. We just want to live like the simplest people on earth—nothing more."
10. Various of people in the street
11. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Abed Dawas, displaced man:
"For more than a year-and-a-half, we’ve been away from our home, our land, our family and the place where we grew up. The feeling (when a ceasefire is announced) will be the most beautiful thing in life—it will be like Eid."
12. Various of people in the street
13. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Abu Fares Al-Jerjawi, displaced man from Gaza city:
"Every Palestinian, whether at home or abroad, is waiting for this moment. The first thing we hope for is to see bloodshed stopped, God willing. The second thing is that it’s just enough."
14. Various of people walking in the street
15. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Shadi Gharabli, displaced man from Gaza city:
"We are tired of this life we’ve been living for nearly a year and a half. It’s a nightmare—truly a nightmare—and I just hope we can find some happiness."
16. Various of people walking near tents of displaced people
17. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Mohammad Al-Attar, displaced man from Beit Lahiya:
"(Hearing news about the ceasefire talks) brings us joy and happiness. We want to return to our towns. Everyone is excited about this. We’ve been humiliated, and we’re tired of this life. We just want to go home, even if it’s to live in a tent—just to be back in our areas."
18. People walking near tents
19. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Mona Nasrallah, displaced woman from Gaza:
20. Various of displaced people walking near tents
