Gaza – Sunday, July 13, Day 6 of the attack

3:30 am
Arafat Police Headquarters which is opposite the Red Crescent Society of the Gaza Strip has been hit with 4 missiles at least. Shelling is continous against Gaza city center. Both east and west. Again the Israelis are bombing so close to my building. My neighbors are all fine; they are on the floor. Broken windows and rubble every where. They hit many buildings close to my apartment. I am not there but everywhere the sound was so loud and shaking. The shelling continues…

Here is an update on the reality in Gaza in simple figures:
160 Palestinian humans killed
1070 Palestinian humans wounded

I was at the Red Crescent Society for the Gaza Strip this morning. The bombing of the police station with 6 missiles just meters away damaged the Red Crescent Society's building but we still continue our work and we receive our patients. We owe thanks and tribute to Tarek, Ahmed, Shadi, Sami, Ibrahim, Bassam, Mohammed, Ahmed, Marwan, Zuhair, Murad, and Arafat.

Dear world, we are not figures. We dream. We grieve. We are passionate and sad. We hope for a better tomorrow.
