On the morning of January 19, Haril Fajan left a small damp tent to Daia Al Rose and immediately head south south. The deadline for the “ceasefire” agreement, at least temporarily stopping Israel’s massacre, was to come into effect at 8:30 am that morning. He had never been to Rafa for more than seven months as the Israeli army invaded the city, and he was desperate to go home.
The 25 -year -old Fajan did not know that the Israeli Army had slowered the transaction for nearly three hours and had tentatively attacked Khan UNIS and the Palestinians in the North Gaza.
When he arrived in the neighborhood of Tal Al Sultan, he had a hard time understanding the scene in front of him. “It was a very complete devastation to see the sea from Chuo Rafa, 4 km away,” said Farjean. “All houses in my area have turned into a mountain of tile Rub. At first glance, I couldn’t identify the neighborhood or house. All landmarks I once knew have been erased. Now the ghost town. is.”
Explain that while walking in the open graveyard, he sees the people who have disassembled and human bodies to identify loved ones in the unexploded bonites on the street and in the internal buildings. I did.
When he arrived at home, it was barely standing. The inside burned out and burned, the walls collapsed, and were troubled by the holes of the bullet. “My house, all my memories, my work, my dream, my certificate (where my life was), just disappeared,” he said. “This war stealed everything from us. I look at Rafa and ask if I will stay in the tent for the next 2-3 years. The city is 10-20 years to understand the previous thing. I need.
Before the war began 15 months ago, about 280,000 people lived in Rafa, the southernmost city of the Gaza district. And Rafa, which crosses the border with Egypt, was the only way to Gaza, which was not dominated by Israel. That was to change violently.
When Israel’s air bombing intensified, Palestinians all over the Gaza moved to the south, most of which were Khan Eunis, and after the Israeli army invaded Khan Eunis after a week of ceasefire. To Rafa. The number of Rafa people expanded to more than three -quarters of Gaza’s population.
In April, Israel announced that it would enter Rafa, despite the tragic warnings from humanitarian organizations, the United Nations, and other international organizations. Even Biden warned that if he invaded Rafa, he would not supply aggressive weapons to Israel.
When the invasion of Israel came in May, he was forced to catch up more than one million Palestinians, and many were packed with Deir Al-Balah and Mawasi Khan Younis. The Israeli Army took over the Filadelficreado, which runs along the border with Egypt, and closed the intersection of the Lafa border. A few months later, the Israeli army went to systematically destroy most of the region. The Biden administration has maintained steady flow of US weapons and political support for Israel.
According to quantification of debris evaluation The fragments caused by the Gaza War conducted by the UN-HABITAT and the United Nations Environmental Programs increased from 22.9 million tons on January 7, 2024 to 50.8 million tons by December 1, 2024, 121 % in 11 months. It has increased. The most significant increase was observed in Rafa, where the amount of debris increased 1,898 %, which was amazing.
After the “Suspension War” was enforced last week, Israel violated repeated agreements, and dozens of civilians returned to a devastated area. Since the ceasefire has been settled, more than 80 Palestinians have been killed throughout the Gaza, Dr. Zaher Al-WAHAIDI, the director of the Ministry of Health Information Center, said to the drop site news. On the other hand, the official sacrifice in Gaza continues to shoot because dozens of bodies are recovered from the bottom of the tile RUB. Since January 19, more than 470 bodies have been recovered, 150 people said in Rafa.
“To clean the wreckage and recover these corpses requires caterpillars and bulldozers. I told the drop site. “Nearly 700 bodies are still trapped under the Rafa tile RUB, and acquiring them depends mainly to allow this important machine that is useful for this troublesome mission.”
One week after the “Suspension”, some of the Rafa residents still cannot return to the devastated area. The 33 -year -old Mostafa Sabasi was expelled four times with his family in May after the invasion of Rapha in Israel. When the ceasefire was implemented, he finally returned to Rafa, noticed that his house remained the same, despite the broken windows and doors, damaged the wall, and the roof broke. “I was lucky to have somehow standing for my house, but it takes a lot of time and effort to reconstruct it,” said Sabasi. But he said that the Israeli army could not stay in his damaged house, as in Al Ginina, who was repeatedly fired over the past few days. Sabashi has returned with 10 members of his family in Khan UNIS shelters.
“I know that the Israeli army has left a big destruction everywhere in it, but Rafa has been completely destroyed. I did not predict the size of the destruction. The city has become a flat landscape with fragments everywhere. ” “All general, education, and medical facilities have been reduced to tile Rubs. It took me hours to notice that I was in Rafa. People have returned to see the house, but almost all He lost them, “he said. I looked at my chin, skull, skeleton, limbs and fingers. People don’t know where to go or what to do. “
“This war took us everything and killed our dreams and passion. My house was damaged, my work stopped, my dream disappeared, and my family broke up. My parents Many of the relative members have been killed during the Geno Side, and all of my neighbors have been killed. I feel that the cities that only draw a trauma and trauma are anxious, and the shells that have been exploded, and are tempted by multiple explosions and around them. I was very alert to the city because I could always lose my life.
When the early stage of the ceasefire agreement was officially established, Fedea Sababa, 21, was delighted. She was able to evacuate in Khan Eunis stuffed for more than eight months and eventually return to Rafa’s house. However, on the second day of the ceasefire, she found that Israel’s tanks and troops were relocated in an area near the neighborhood of Saudi, and her house could not be accessed.
“When I heard the news of Rafa’s invasion where my grandfather came, he couldn’t take it and died of a heart attack,” Sababa told the drop site. “I feel like I’ve lost everything. The ceasefire was a fresh air breath, but I lost something irreplaceable, so our happiness was incomplete. Then I returned to Rafa. I felt a big shock in the abandoned trip.
“The explosives were everywhere. While we were heading home, some people warned us about going to a specific area because many mines were planted there. We were really lucky to have been walking around those areas, and we have escaped. We were scattered in the neighborhood, so we were afraid of walking on the street, so we followed the tank print to avoid the invisible mines and explosives. “The scene that decomposes the body collected from under the tile RUB was the most difficult scene I had to see throughout my life. Everyone was picking up the body and fragments. Who is whom? I couldn’t know who was the feet, who was. “
