A true narrative and photos , By Ayman Quader

Since the establishment of the Palestinian refugee camps in 1949 as part of the aftermath of the Palestine-Israel conflict, the Palestinian refugees have been gravely suffering and are considered the longest suffering from this injustice.They are denied the basic access to life itself. It is worth mentioning that the refugee camps were established as a temporary-living solution for the refugees after they fled or were expelled from their original homes. The living condition of the Palestinian refugee is seriously miserable and lacks the basic daily necessities of life which are needed for a healthy development. The Palestinian refugee problem is totally complex regarding the living conditions as the people live under the line of poverty and are struggling for survival as the number of refugees have been dramatically increasing. The homes of the refugees are so close to each other with only narrow passages for movement.

The family of Al Aqra�a is a fatherless family living in Dair Al Balah Refugee camp in the centre of the Gaza Strip. The long suffering of this particular family is representative of all living in these wretched camps. The situation of this family worsened a few years ago during a siege of Gaza as they lost their sole breadwinner and have been without any means of support since.

Ail Aqran, aged 9 , describes his living conditions as a living burial for him and his family. "We have been living under very harsh living conditions. As for me a 9 year old child what did I do wrong to be treated so cruelly"? The family of Ali consists of 5 people including the mother who struggling to get her siblings a decent life. They live in a structure that is not meant to be a home. The 'house� was built of different materials but does not include cement. The only concrete-roofed room was totally destroyed in the recent war on Gaza as this room was hit by a missile during one of the attacks. This room has become a room for the children�s pet cats, not suitable for humans. The rest of the 'house� is made of wood that is reinforced with broken asbestos sheets. It is unbearably hot during the summer months. The visitor�s room is sparsely furnished with makeshift furniture of very poor quality.

Most families that lost the main breadwinner of the family lost the emotional support as well. The responsibility of sustaining the family and the increasing demands, in these cases, falls on the shoulders of the mother. They mainly depend of on the charities and the assistance from others.

Ali and his other two brothers usually sleep out of the room, under the sky as the only available hut is only for the mother and the sister. They do not have enough space to sleep inside so the available the space is reserved for the mother and the sister.

I asked Ali about his own personal childhood experiences during the recent war on Gaza. "we were passing through very critical conditions during the time of war as we did not have any safe place any more." He continued, "look! Look! Look! there is not strong roof that could protect us from the nearby Israeli fire and we were randomly targeted by the Israeli warships as we live near the sea". Ali added that "we did not evacuate our house during the time day of the war as the UNRWA school shelters were faraway from our house so we kept close to each other. One day in the morning, dozens of shrapnel directly hit our house as well our neighbors and critically injured my friend Mohammed."

When I asked Ali how he usually spends his spare time, he took a deep breath and replied "I do have spare time to play, but I do not have a space to play. As we are fatherless children, I always try hard to help my mother in taking care of my young siblings and our house. I regularly go to the nearby sea and spend time there with my friends playing on the beach and walking. Sometimes, when we hear a voice from the Israeli warship firing its leads toward the fishermen, we run back to our homes" added Ali.

"I hope we could have spare time like any other young children in the world. I aspire as a Palestinian child to get my rights to play and to have fun like the rest of the world�s children. I hope that conflict, war, violence comes to an end and people live in a peaceful society. The nature of people should be the nature of freedom and security not the nature of killing, hatred, attack and destruction"

I think this is very wrong but unfortunately none of the powerful islamic countries, (Saudi arabia, iran, pakistan, indonesia, etc) do nothing about it, its very regretfull and shocking. i hope they feel shame when they look at these pictures. while they are getting fat , people in palestine are dying in various ways. i hope allah will give peace to palestine and punish the wrong doers.

May Allah Forgive us
:salam2:

I feel ashamed that I am sitting here in comfort, living in ease with happiness where as my brothers and sisters on another side of the world is suffering from a dirty race of people. Yes we need another salahdin, but we can not wait for him. May Allah bless me through what I am saying and enable me to take part and help my brothers and sisters in Palestine.

A quotation from a Muslim sister from USA (in an Al-Jazeera article comment online), which I will never forget is "i am a lone parent living in the west, i want to wear my niqab, and no one is forcing me because i dont have a single relative , where is my right?
this is a test to all muslims especially muslim men, your wives, mothers, daughters, and sisters are being forced to remove their hijab, what are you (muslim men) going to do?????????????? "

This is what we have become now, waiting for another Salahddin or probably just trying to hide our weakness and inability!!!! :(

May Allah correct me through what I am saying and Forgive me and Forgive the Ummah and help us attain victory against the kuffars.
once men were men.......
