Wala na akong aasamin
walang kahapong lilipas, walang darating na bukas
at ang ngayon ko’y hindi sumisikad o umaatras
walang nagaganap sa akin!
Kung ako’y mamamatay
Kailangan kang mabuhay
Upang ikwento ang kwento ko
Ipagbili ang mga gamit ko
Upang makabili ng kapirasong tela
At mga tali
(y’ung puti na may mahabang buntot)
“One hundred thousand tons of explosives – equivalent to nine nuclear bombs – were dropped on Gaza. Every environmental sector was shattered.”
Taking into account the mass killings of Palestinians in Gaza, the resulting serious bodily and mental harm, and the lack of accountability, the Commission finds that there is a consistent pattern that clearly shows the intent to physically destroy Palestinians in Gaza as a group.
As the crisis deepens, the number of people facing famine is projected to rise to 641,000, or nearly a third of Gaza’s population.

Sailing toward Gaza was a form of resistance to break the siege and provide humanitarian aid to the Palestinian people.
Humanitarian aid must be provided only by humanitarian organisations who have the competence and determination to do it safely and effectively – not warring parties.
“Since breaking the ceasefire, the Zionist-Israel and its number one funder has shown no mercy to our Palestinian brothers and sisters. They play deaf while the list of martyrs and victims grows longer, and those still alive have nowhere safe to go,” said Amirah Lidasan, secretary-general of MCPA.
“In line with the tactics that the Israeli authorities have applied since October 2023, they have once again chosen to collectively punish the people of Gaza – with the explicit approval of their closest ally, the United States – striking with an intensity not seen since the early stages of the war."
“Unless the root causes of this conflict are addressed, Palestinians and Israelis cannot even begin to hope for a brighter future built on rights, equality and justice. Israel must dismantle the brutal system of apartheid it imposes to dominate and oppress Palestinians and end its unlawful occupation of the Occupied Palestinian Territory once and for all."
It is dangerous to view the ongoing attacks as a mere “conflict". History would teach us that the ongoing brutal crimes against the Palestinian people are because of the illegal occupation of their lands, ethnic cleansing of their people, and annexation of their territories by Israel state forces.
