🇵🇸 Testimonies from Gaza : My neighbourhood was vibrant and beautiful. Israel turned it into a wasteland | Mohammed al-Hajjar for Middle East Eye –
Nestled along Gaza's coastline, Rimal was an upscale neighbourhood in Gaza City, boasting ice cream parlours, cafes and vibrant boutique clothes shops.
Today, it lies in complete ruin - a clear sign that no part of Gaza, residential or otherwise, is
safe from Israeli bombardment.
"Al-Azhar University, where I studied for seven years, was bombed. The streets surrounding it were bombed, and buildings inside the university campus were bombed.
My seven-year-old son Majd attended the New Gaza Primary School for Boys. Located on al-Nasr Street, today it has been appropriated by the Israeli army, which uses it to hold residents it has arrested.
As I walked around, I was reminded of the scenes at al-Shifa itself, which were some of the most painful and inhuman I've ever witnessed."
