I was born in Gaza is a poem, from the recent poetry collection by Mohammed Moussa. 

Music by: Andre lefebvre.

The Israeli military intrusion targeted the most vital roads in Gaza, roads that held all my memories. I feel broken while I watch my memories burn along with the soul of Gaza. They robbed Gaza of hope and joy with the smoke of their atrocious crimes. Towers crumble like in movies, a city once green turned grey and weathered. A sky once blue turned dark and bleak.

It is unfathomable that all this military hardware is being used against one of the densest and poorest cities in the world, with no shelters, and lack of electricity, food, medical supplies, during a deadly pandemic. Gaza is also a city that has been under siege for more than thirteen years, and therefore is vulnerable to such intensive military intrusions. The destruction cannot always be retraced, and is coming from all terrains; land, sea, and air. Gaza is being brutally cornered and isolated so Israel can commit a murderous cold-blooded extermination of Palestinians. The silence coming from international actors and the global community, supported by biased media coverage is complicit in this ongoing destruction of Gaza.
