There are no bomb shelters in Gaza. 

 

There are no sirens. 

 

And there is no emergency alert app on our phones. 

 

And if there was one, there is no phone signal or internet connect most of the time. 

 

And there is hardly any electricity to charge our phones. 

 

The only shelters we have been running into and living in are schools and hospitals. 

 

But even those have been bombed constantly and our families were burnt alive in front of our eyes. 

 

Even the areas that were designated as "non-combat zones" got bombed. 

 

We live there in tents without access to water or food or clothes. 

 

Nothing could intercept these 2000 lb bombs as they hit our tents. 

 

No country intercepts the drones either. 

 

The ceiling of our tents could not protect us. 

 

We even do not know when a bomb is falling. 

 

If we survive by chance, the doctors operate on us with no anesthesia and when we are dismissed from the hospital, we cannot find antibiotics or painkillers. 

 

And the world is watching as we tell these stories. 

 

And we continue to scream as we die.
