Over almost 15 months, since July 2024, the Palestinian Husam Ghanem, a 53 -year -old businessman, with five children, a neighbor of the city of Gaza, has been counting for the country, in several articles, what his life has become since Israel decided to invade the strip. He has done it on the phone, or, if the lines faltered, based on text messages or audio. He has also been sending, periodically, photos and videos of his situation and that of his children or that of his wife. In the first of those articles, for example, how to the terrorist attacks of Hamas of October 7, 2023 and the war response of the Netanyahu government, he was forced to abandon his city, his neighborhood and his house. He moved several times – as almost all the inhabitants of the strip – and, after pilgrimage for months from one place to another, he settled in a tent on the beach of Deir al Balah, in the center of the enclave. When the fragile act was agreed on the fire in January of this year, he returned to Gaza City in a rented van. Miraculously, his house, in the neighborhood Al Shati, was standing, although without windows, without some furniture and without many of the value objects, stolen by bands of looters. But standing. And, despite everything, habitable. Since then, their elderly mother, her five children, her wife and him, overwhelmed with fear by the bombing, without leaving a lot of home and every day in a more precarious way: without light, electricity, sufficient food or water water.
