And people are asleep!

What pain grips our sad souls and broken hearts as we watch screens covered in blood at suhoor, while people sleep with empty stomachs, starving and ravaging their tents and shelters.

For hours and minutes after dawn yesterday, our hearts were attached to the cries for help from the children and women who perished under the rubble. We felt ashamed of our helplessness, our weakness, and our insignificance in the eyes of the people.

The crying of children grieving the loss of their mothers, who used to care for them and prepare enough suhoor to satisfy their hunger and enable them to perform their religious duties, while waiting for a poor breakfast from a takaya that only serves lentil soup, which is neither fattening nor satiating.

"We have detected a Hamas move to launch a new war." This is the ready-made, false, and misleading pretext used by "Dracula," who has not yet had his fill of the blood of Gaza's children, to justify his return to the war of extermination.

The false pretext continues to roll, with the criminals paying no attention to the fate of the detainees in Gaza, whom the fox would have considered dead had the "Hannibal Law" been activated the moment they were captured.

Our voices have become hoarse, and the ink in our pens has frozen from our many cries for help, from our reliance on the best nation brought forth for mankind, and on a world that has lost its values and has been swayed by evil and arrogant tendencies, without regard for people's lives or for the laws and regulations that protect human rights.

In these painful moments of prolonged national tragedy, we can only implore God Almighty to have mercy on our people in Gaza and to make the fire cool and peaceful for them.
