The conversation with my Gazan brother...

Me: btw where are u now? at home? hmm hows Gaza now bro?

Him: Yes, working on a battery. Gaza is lacking everything. Electricity, fuel, food, etc

Me: I heard about the bombing recently. Is it true?

Him: Yes, of course. Bombing happens almost on daily basis

Me: Allahuakbar….was it near ur place?

Him: Yes. But don’t worry. We are ok. Atleast for now.

Me: Alhamdulillah… I thought d bombing is over

Him: Israel will never stop defending itself from the people whose land they have stolen. The bombing never ends.

Me: hmm how about d gate bro? i meant rafah?

Him: Closed as always. Border.

Me: still d same? so people cannot leave Gaza?

Him: It gets opened maybe three days every two weeks and not all the travelers get to travel. We don't 

live like humans anymore.

Me: I am sad dat d world do not c this. :(

Him: Everyone is busy having fun.

Me: I meant…they may c but they do nothin

Him: Too bad for us

Me: Allahu akhbar. (started to wipe my tears)

Him: Its ok bro. We are used to it.

Me: I hope jannah awaits all Gazan including u my brother!!

Him: Inshallah…and u too

Me: Ameeen….I know living there is never easy.

Him: Bro…living in Gaza is not living. It is surviving

Me:  Bro…I am so sorry that I cud not do anything to help...

Him: Hey…its ok.. no prob. 

(and I continued wiping my tears - SI)
