Adham Khalil writing from Jabaliya refugee camp, the occupied Gaza Strip, Live from Palestine, 13 January 2009
It is very horrible here. Today was the worst. There were lots of F-16s above us and white phosphorous falling from the sky.
I didn't sleep last night. The sound of shelling in the north and east kept us all awake.
Most of the time we don't have any electricity in my house. So when the power comes for an hour or two the whole family is busy. We charge our mobiles, pump water, bake bread. But I have seen so many horrible things on TV that sometimes I wish we could stay without power.
So far, my own family is okay but I feel shy to speak about my family. I don't think like that. Everyone in Gaza is my family. We are suffering collectively as we are being punished and forgotten collectively, and we are dying.
It is very dangerous here and everywhere in Gaza. By 5pm the streets are empty. Not even one person goes out of their homes in my area. But even in our homes, we are not safe. I swear sometimes I can smell death around us.
It is not true to say this is a war between Hamas and Israel. I am an eyewitness in Gaza and though you may think that Gaza is a country and Hamas is a great and powerful army, these are lies. The Palestinian factions do not own tanks, warplanes, or warships. They have homemade rockets, simple weapons. They cannot do anything against Israel's great and powerful army.
We are living under complete siege with daily killings and our houses destroyed. Hamas and other Palestinian factions are trying to defend Palestinians from the continuing massacres, invasions and air strikes. The Israeli occupation and actions in Gaza are terrorist actions, as are many of their actions and policies dating back to their ethnic cleansing campaign in 1948.
But I think this, right now, is the worst catastrophe I will see in my life.

I don't have any guns or weapons. I struggle by simply telling the truth. Many people have asked me if there is a way to send money or food. But what we really need is our freedom and an end to the fire.
Don't keep silent about the Israeli massacres and Holocaust against Palestinians. The demand for an end to this siege must be louder than the bombs that rain down upon us.

Adham, Belal: you're not alone, there are millions of people worldwide that are against the Israeli attack of Gaza.
These people don't have the political relevance to prevent this from happening, but the Palestinians must know that thousands and thousands of persons are signing petitions, are taking part in demonstrations against this in all over the world.
Tomorow I'm going to a meeting here in my town, Porto, where there will be a documentary exhibition and a debate to express solidarity with the Palestinian people.

Everywhere is Palestine, everyone is Palestinian..more than 70.000.000 Turkish people are with Gaza.. with you.. Our hearts & prayers are with Gaza..
All these things which you told us, we watch on TV everyday.. Our hearts are bleeding so much.. I can feel your pain & fears very well.. everyday we hate Israel much more... No doubt Israel will give an account of all tears & blood of these innocent children & women & men in Gaza one day..
May Allah help & protect people in Gaza...

Inshalla the Arab world will not stand by again and let Palestine suffer. There have been some promising words at the summit in Qatar and here in the Kingdom. I fear the actions will be taken to late...but although the people cannot speak we pray that our leaders will take action to resolve the ongoing occupation.
May your family be safe under the god’s watchful eye. May those who have lost their lives in this moment of torment be returned to Allah and my we have peace in the region once again.
