Gaza Children's Desensitization to Bombings Leaves Father Heartbroken
A Palestinian father in Gaza describes how his children have become "numb and indifferent" to the constant bombings, losing their sense of childhood. Since Hamas attacked Israel, Israel has launched devastating airstrikes on the Gaza Strip, causing widespread destruction and displacement. The father explains that the fear and trauma have gradually affected his children, who now ask questions about war and death instead of enjoying a playful childhood. The family has been confined to their apartment, and the youngest children have not been allowed outside. The father also highlights the difficulty of marking life events by war, emphasizing the strong sense of solidarity among Palestinians despite the dire living conditions caused by the Israeli siege.
