Gaza Bleeds While the World Watches: A Call to Conscience
As I write these words, Gaza is no longer just a city — it is a cemetery without walls. Over 50,800 Palestinians have been officially declared dead, their names etched in grief — yet thousands more lie uncounted beneath the mountains of rubble, their bodies unreachable, their stories silenced. More than 115,000 souls have been injured, their bodies shredded by missiles, their limbs lost to the shrapnel of banned weapons, their lives forever scarred. Over 39,000 children have been orphaned, wandering a wasteland without mothers, without fathers, without homes. Babies have died in incubators without power. Children have died of thirst because Israel bombed the water tanks. Grandmothers have died clutching bread they could not eat. Thousands have been kidnapped by the Israeli army — disappeared into a brutal system where torture is common and justice is nowhere. Hospitals have been obliterated. Ambulances targeted. Refugee camps incinerated. Schools flattened. Markets turned to ash. Gaza is starving. Gaza is dying. Gaza is screaming. And yet the so-called defenders of human rights — the governments who preach freedom and dignity — have taken a vow of silence so profound, it echoes louder than the bombs.
The Cost of Silence: Gaza’s Invisible Graves
The numbers barely scrape the surface of Gaza’s suffering. Official counts list the dead, but not the missing. The silenced, the buried, the kidnapped. Gaza is not just dying — it is disappearing.
