The biggest disaster in the world is happening in Gaza
There are many disasters and unnatural phenomena in the world, such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides (tsunamis), avalanches, floods, heat waves, cold waves, forest fires, droughts, hurricanes, epidemics, pandemics, technological and biological hazards. These are disasters imposed by the environment and the forces of nature. However, the disaster that results from human actions and results in loss of life and destruction of property, has a severe impact on the national economy and social life, and the capabilities to confront it exceed the capacity of national resources and require international assistance. People suffer from its woes and become in need of protection, clothing, shelter, medical and social care, and other essential and basic life needs, most notably water, food, and fuel. It is a technical disaster that is deliberately caused by actions carried out by destructive hands. We have been standing at this type of disaster since October 7 of last year, and we have been following and monitoring the enormous extent of the effects and severe damage to lives, property, and destruction caused by this huge catastrophic type, which is unprecedented in human history, as the Gaza disaster is the largest. In size, space, numbers, the number of its dead and victims, and the multiplicity of its noisy human scenes.
The Gaza catastrophe is unprecedented in the world, where Israel kills people, mutilates their bodies, detains them, buries them, cuts them up, and leaves them for stray dogs to devour, or for bulldozers and military armored vehicles to mix with the soil and sand of the homeland that the feet of the occupation soldiers desecrate.
The Gaza disaster has a number of wounded that exceeds the numbers of world wars and victims of atomic and nuclear bombs, and there is no treatment or medication, and no hospitals or health centers capable of providing care because they were destroyed by the Israeli army.
The Gaza disaster has resulted in massive destruction of all aspects of life, from homes, houses, tents, mosques, shelters and refugee centers. Even the graves where the martyrs are buried are threatened with bombing or exhumation, and the streets of the Strip have become open cemeteries to accommodate the huge number of martyrs.
The Gaza disaster includes the deliberate killing of children, women and civilians, diseases and an ongoing epidemic, health hazards spreading everywhere, no water, missing irrigation sources, no food and no medicine.
The Gaza disaster involves displacement and migration time after time, and with each migration and asylum, families are forced to repeat it a second, third and fourth time, to be targeted by the occupation’s bombing, so they seek refuge and then are killed.
The Gaza catastrophe involves bombing from land, sea and air. There is no safe place, no calm, no truce, no stopping of the wheel of war, no Eid, Ramadan or occasions. Even the day is missing, as darkness dominates the scene and the sun of relief and joy seems far away.
The Gaza disaster is a war on anyone who intends to provide medical or humanitarian aid to the people of the Strip, and his fate is either expulsion, killing, or expulsion, unless he assumes the role of the occupation and acknowledges that the people of Gaza are terrorists and must be starved and tortured to death.
The Gaza catastrophe, lines and convoys of hungry and thirsty people whom Israel is fighting with an immoral war by starving them in order to bring them to their knees, but their strength, power and steadfastness stem from their belonging to a cause, and the cause is a homeland.
The Gaza catastrophe is mass arrests, torture, abuse, ghosting, and dozens of martyrs from the prisoners of the word of truth who rebelled against the prison guard’s procedures, and their fate was to ascend to the gardens of eternity.
The Gaza catastrophe is the biggest because Israel is killing the people of Palestine in the West Bank, including Jerusalem, and inside Palestine, and it is killing Arabs, Muslims, and Christians in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and Iran.
The Gaza catastrophe is because Gaza is the first front of the struggle and the window of Palestine that fights alone, and does not know when this barbaric war against it will stop, and if it stops, the catastrophe will remain stronger than any future history, because the destructive hands are still occupying the will of the people of Gaza and cutting off the strip’s connections and isolating it from the world.
