Gaza diary: Are we not human?

By Mohammed Ali in Gaza City


Many Gazans feel hopeless in the face of the Israeli bombardment [GALLO/GETTY]

As the death toll from Israel's war on Gaza continues to climb, Mohammed Ali, an advocacy and media researcher for Oxfam who lives in Gaza City, will be keeping a diary of his feelings and experiences.

Are we not human?


The air, the sea and the earth in Gaza City are now occupied by the Israeli military. They occupy Gazans' minds, nerves and ears too.

In a bid to stop my children twitching, jerking, trembling and waking at every sound of an attack during their few hours of sleep and their many waking hours, I put cotton wool in their ears - it has not worked.

I wonder what damage is being done to my children's tiny hearts. Theirs are not as big as mine, they can cope less with the stress that is being put on them.

Watch our coverage of the war on Gaza
We ran out of fuel for our generator, which meant that we were confined to a small room filled with eleven people, with little light for three days.

We have not had water either; our well can only pump water if it has electricity which most of the Gaza Strip has been denied since this nightmare started.

Unlike many other families, we were fortunate yesterday to find 20 litres of benzene to power our generator. No fuel has come in since the onset of this attack on Gaza so we had to pay seven times its usual price.

We have one day's worth of food left and the nappies I bought two weeks ago are nearly gone. They are not good quality as little has been able to enter this strip of land since the blockade was imposed on us 18 months ago. Bad quality nappies mean unpleasant leakages, and for the last few days the little ones have had to be bathed in freezing cold water.

My sister who was with us the last time I wrote decided to return home in spite of our protests. She feared that with food reserves running out we might have to eat one meal a day rather than the two we have been having of late. At home she has a little food left, enough to keep her and her family going for a while longer.

We are now 11, huddled together in my parents' dining room. My brother and I and our families moved there, thinking that the first floor may be the safest option.

There is a saying in Arabic which says "death in a group is a mercy". I guess if we die together maybe, just maybe, we will feel less of the pain than in doing so alone.

I have had 8 hours sleep since the beginning of this conflict; we can hear attacks almost every minute.

I think to myself, if one of us is injured or needs medical attention what will happen? Ambulances are finding it difficult to reach civilians, roads are blocked by rubble, Israeli forces in their path - you could bleed to death.

Even if they did get to us, maybe we would be bombed on our way to the hospital. If we did reach the hospital there might not be enough room to treat us - there is little medication or equipment or any electricity to fuel the life-saving equipment. We would not even be able to get out of Gaza for the life-saving treatment we needed.

Hospitals are now running on back-up generators making life even more difficult for the doctors who are trying to cope with the influx of the injured. If fuel runs out for the generators, those on life-saving equipment will perish.

I heard a woman calling into a radio station today - ambulance services could not reach her and I guess she thought the radio station might be able to do something. She was wailing down the phone "our home is on fire, my children are dying, help me". I do not know what happened to her and her children - I do not want to imagine.

I spend much of my time thinking that this could be the last hour of my existence.

As I try to fall asleep, I hear on the radio the numbers of people who have died rising by the hour. I wonder if tomorrow morning, I will be part of that body count, part of the next breaking news.

I will be just another number to all those watching the death and destruction in Gaza or maybe the fact that I work for Oxfam will mean that I will be a name and not just a number. I might be talked about for a minute and moments later forgotten, like all those other people who have had their lives taken away from them.

I am not afraid of dying - I know that one day we all must die. But not like this, not sitting idly in my home with my children in my arms waiting for our lives to be taken away. I am disgusted by this injustice.

What is the international community waiting for - to see even more dismembered people and families erased before they act? Time is ticking by and the numbers of dead and injured are increasing. What are they waiting for?

What is happening is against humanity, are we not human?

BICARAKU SEPI SENDIRI

Bicara palestin untuk dunia

Hari tanpa mentari
Dan malam ditaburi bintang yang palsu
Aku menatap roh-roh berlari ke langit
Kudus
Aku meraba serpihan kenangan
Kunci hati yang tertanggal
Bersepah di lantai semalam

Bumi kami dijarah
Tanah dicuri
Hati kami dilapah
Dunia kami amorfus yang kelam
Membina angka-angka yang tak pernah mati
Detik hari yang semakin meninggi
Kecederaan menyelubungi
Syahid tanpa pesan

Anak-anak kecil di sisi ibu yang kaku
Aman yang hilang
Palestin bukan hanya nama
Ialah milik baitul Maqdis yang mulia
Membiarkan Israel merajai
Bererti membuka pintu dunia
Untuk Arab merebah di kaki Zionis
Agenda tersembunyi Israel
Sedang Arab sayangkan perut sendiri
Ambillah emas hitamku
Dengannya
Bunuhlah saudaraku
Sebelum kamu membunuh aku

Hari sebelum malam
Namun masih kami belum sedar
Mentari bahagia masih segan untuk menjengah
Malam sudah hampir tamat
Namun aku belum merasai sepinya sengsara yang menyelubungi
Sepi malamku dibunuh tembakan yang menjadi muzik paling kejam
Siangku ialah ketakutan yang membunuh seluruh rasa
Dan malam dan siangku lenyap dalam rindu yang luluh
Membunuh kebaculan aku membelinya dengan harga yang paling mahal
Nyawa kami dilelong dengan minyak
Dan kami...

SEMINGGU ISRAEL MENGGANAS, APA USAHA KITA?

Hujan masih bertali-tali di luar dan saya masih tak henti-henti menganyam mimpi jam 10 pagi. Barangkali gelombang banjir ke-2 dalam perjalanan menuju bumi. Kemuraman suasana di luar merencatkan sedikit halaju diri dan saya menyiapkan mimpi jam 10 pagi saat bumi habis basah disapu air yang turun mencurah-curah.

Saya menyambung jaga yang realiti antara bumi Palestin yang dihujani bom sedang Tel Aviv dan Tebing gaza makin tegang. Angka 400++ yang syahid dan 2000++ yang cedera masih tidak mampu membangkitkan umat Islam yang sedang lena didakap zon selesa. Saudara-saudara seislam terkepung terancam sedang Hamas yang dipilih daripada demokrasi tajaan Uncle Sam disebut rejim pengganas.

Jangan biarkan penyembelihan beramai =-ramai di Ambon berulang!
Jangan biarkan tragedi Sabra Satilla mengambil tempat sekali lagi.
Doalah kerana doa ialah senjata mu'min yang paling ampuh!!

AKU BELUM DEWASA

Cinta ialah kuasa magis yang mampu menyatukan dua insan dengan 1001 perbedaan dengan hanya satu persamaan. Ini kuasa cinta. Aku mahu bicara apa ye? Sebenarnya aku baru saja menatap gambar-gambar perkahwinan rakan sekelasku 5 Sains 1, Kak Nadiah dan Izani di MMP dan Ipin dan Kak Tiqah, naqibahku di MCIIUM. Tahniah buat mereka yang baru saja melayari alam baru bernama perkahwinan. Satu kehidupan yang bukan mudah sebenarnya, penuh dengan tanggungjawab dan rintangan yang bukan sedikit. Dan bukan mudah sebenarnya untuk seorang ayah apatah lagi ibu untuk melepaskan anak perempuannya ke dalam jagaan orang lain apatah lagi yang bernama suami itu belum bekerja dan masih lagi belajar di tahun dua di UIA.

Aku?
Kata abang aku, kalau nak kahwin kahwinlah. Bunyinya enteng sekali. Tapi aku tidak bercadang untuk melangkah bendul.

Mak aku?
Diam membisu seribu bahasa saat soalan itu aku utarakan padanya.

Aku?
Aku belum puas hidup bersendiri, belum mampu mengecapi betapa bahagianya menjadi seorang pelajar. Dengan bahasa mudah, aku ialah seorang kanak-kanak kecil yang tidak mampu melepaskan alam anak-anak yang riang.

BICARA TENTANG CINTA 1

Cinta tidak mampu meruntuhkan tembok, tapi mampu meruntuhkan si pembuat tembok. Itu pepatah cina yang menjelaskan betapa kuasa cinta mampu menakluki apa saja. Cinta berada di mana saja. Yang pentingnya cinta kadang terselit antara fantasi dan reality yang mampu membuatkan kita keliru saat membuat keputusan. Deria rasa seakan tidak berfungsi untuk menimbang kuasa cinta yang tak punya ukuran.

Dan, aku jadi benci akan cinta kerana ia membuatkan aku jadi sengsara. Rumah cinta dalam hatiku telah lama roboh meninggalkan puing kenangan berserakan. Pintu cinta telah lama kukatup rapat dalam diri kerana aku tidak mampu lagi menanggung derita cinta yang menekan. Aduhai cinta, hilanglah dari diri ini bersama janjimu yang palsu. Aku tidak mahu menanggungnya lagi.

Buat yang bercinta, ingatlah saat yang paling tidak sedar diri dalam hidup ialah saat cinta jadi bunga ceria yang mengisi segenap ruang hidupmu. Kesampingkan rasa cinta itu dan anda akan rasai betapa cinta ialah magnet yang mampu menghilangkan kewarasan diri andai tidak didorong ke arah jalan yang betul. Pesimiskah seorang aku saat bicara bernada begini?

Entahlah, tapi anda akan mengerti andai melaluinya. Bicara saja tidak bermakna apa-apa. Dan aku memadam kata cinta dalam relung hatiku kerana ingin memberi ruang yang lebih kepada kasih sayang. Aku ingin mengerti makna kasih erti sayang sebelum aku mencari cinta itu maksudnya apa.


Jiwa kacau: Cinta atau cita atau tamakkkan diri?
Jiwa tenang: Umur setahun jagung, darah baru setampuk pinang ada hati

AN EDUCATIONAL VISIT TO COLGATE AND KULIYYAH OF DENTISTRY (FAKULTI PERGIGIGIAN) UNIVERSITI MALAYA

It was on 16th December 2008, on Tuesday when the Pioneer and D+1 batches of IIUM was scheduled for the visit. At first, we 2nd year students don’t want to go because we already there last year, but the Colgate insisted on our presence because they had something new to show to us. So, we reluctantly (have to) go there. But, it is not wasting time visit. Let’s see what we get.

We were told to depart at 630am, but due to late arriving of our “VVVIP” it was delayed till 715am. At almost 1115am, we arrived at Colgate-Palmolive company at Petaling Jaya where there is our beloved matric-miss the place very much!

We were welcomed by the company and went straightly to hall for some briefing. At was there where we were given a lecture on history of Colgate Company that started at 1971. Then Dr Adi Mansor, Dental practitioner there gave us lecture on dentin hypersensitivity. Then, there is quiz conducted. we were given special souvenir by Colgate, a Colgate kit used to educate community about oral hygiene. We stayed there until 3pm before we move to PPUM-Pusat Perubatan Universiti Malaya to visit Fakulti Pergigian.

At PPUM we meet Dr Masyitah that doing master there. And the visit end at 6pm. So, the three busses come back to IIUM and arrived at 1030pm.

LET’S SOLVE THIS PUZZLE

Note: A game given by Dr Lim Chin Choon, my Pharmacology lecturer after our tutorial-Opiod agonist and antagonist. He is a Chinese that doing master at IIUM.

Solve it using any mathematical symbol without number. You can use adding, substract, divide or multiply or whatever math symbol except number.

HEY..DENTIST

Dentist begging the patient: Could you help me? Could you give out a few of your loudest, most painful screams?

Patient: Why? Doc, it isn't all that bad this time. Dentist: There are so many people in the waiting room right now and I don't want to miss the 4 o'clock cricket game..

A friend of mine went to the dentist recently. He commented that it must be tough spending all day with your hands in someone's mouth.

He said, "I just think of it as having my hands in their wallet."


A patient sits in the dental chair with severely fractured front teeth. After discussing how they will be restored and what the fee would be the patient says, "

Before we begin, Doc, I gotta know: Will I be able to play the trumpet when you are finished? "

The dentist replies " Sure you will! "

The patient replies " Great, I couldn't play a note before! "


Patient: How much to have this tooth pulled?

Dentist: With pain $200 and without pain $100.

Patient: Well, without pain it's cheaper. Pull it WITHOUT pain.

Without anesthesia neither anything, the dentist begins to extract the tooth, when the patient outcry: Aaaahhhhhhhh !!!!!

Hey, WITH pain it costs $200 !!!, replies the dentist.


Patient: How much to have this tooth pulled?

Dentist: $200

Patient: $200 for just a few minutes work???

Dentist: I can extract it very slowly, if you like.

PERHENTIAN 1

By three methods we may learn wisdom:
First, by reflection, which is noblest;
Second , by imitation, which is easiest;
and
Third by experience, which is the bitterest.

Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk infront of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me
and be my friend.

Yesterday is but a dream,
Tomorrow is only a vision.
But today we’ll live makes every yesterday a dream
of happiness, and every tomorrow a vision of hope
