“When Israel shot at my home then I cannot sleep.
[The
fighting] makes so many things, for example
that I can’t go out of the home
after 6:00 and
I can’t sleep well, and it is so sad.”

“I have a little sister who is very afraid of the shelling.
So I have mostly been concerned with reassuring her
and it has helped me to be less afraid myself.”

“Fright, helplessness, frustration,
impatience.
As much as we have waited for the situation
to get better, it just
seems to get worse and
worse. So much suffering.”

“I am a human being who
doubts his humanity because
of the bad treatment we receive. Believe that we
want
to live in peace with Israel, but not as slaves or dogs.
Side by side as
human beings wanting the same things
for ourselves and our children.”

“We are used to it now, so I’m not as
afraid as I was at the beginning.
The situation let all people get closer to
each other…we have to
support each other and help each other to cope.”
