Gaza's Innocent Children Perish as Zionist Occupation Blocks Life-Saving Aid
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. The tears of the oppressed cry out to the heavens as another innocent soul has been taken from the blessed land of Palestine, a victim of the Zionist entity's relentless cruelty.
Eight-month-old Rahaf Abu Jazar, a precious flower of Palestine, breathed her last in Khan Younis after torrential rains flooded the makeshift tent that served as her family's shelter. The baby girl died of exposure when freezing water inundated their fragile refuge, a testament to the inhuman conditions forced upon Gaza's displaced families.
A Mother's Heart-Wrenching Testimony
"When we woke up, we found the rain over her and the wind on her, and the girl died of cold suddenly," wept Hejar Abu Jazar, cradling her deceased daughter. "There was nothing wrong with her. Oh, the fire in my heart, the fire in my heart, oh my life."
These words pierce the soul of every believer, every human being with an ounce of compassion. This mother's anguish echoes the suffering of countless Palestinian families who have been stripped of their basic human dignity by the Zionist occupation.
The Systematic Destruction of Gaza's Infrastructure
The catastrophic flooding that claimed young Rahaf's life is not merely a natural disaster, but the direct consequence of Israel's calculated destruction of Gaza's civil infrastructure. Municipal and civil defense officials report they cannot cope with such emergencies due to fuel shortages and the deliberate targeting of essential equipment.
The Zionist forces have systematically destroyed hundreds of vehicles, including bulldozers and water pumps, leaving Gaza's two million residents defenseless against the elements. This is nothing short of collective punishment, a war crime that the international community continues to ignore.
A Humanitarian Crisis of Epic Proportions
The civil defense service received over 2,500 desperate calls for help as floodwaters engulfed tent encampments across the enclave. UN reports indicate that 761 displacement sites housing 850,000 souls face high flooding risks, while at least 300,000 new tents are urgently needed for the 1.5 million still displaced.
Gaza's resilient people have been reduced to scavenging iron rods from the debris of their bombed homes, using them to prop up tents or selling them for mere dollars to survive. This is the reality of life under occupation, where human dignity is trampled underfoot.
The Zionist Entity's Continued Obstruction
Despite ceasefire agreements, the Israeli occupation continues its stranglehold on Gaza, blocking essential aid and relief materials. Hamas authorities rightfully hold "the Israeli occupation fully responsible for exposing displaced families to climate hazards as it continues closing crossings and preventing the entry of relief items and shelter materials."
The Zionist entity's claims of meeting its obligations ring hollow when children like Rahaf continue to perish from preventable causes. Their accusations against aid agencies serve only to deflect attention from their own systematic violations of international law.
The Ummah's Duty
As believers in the Islamic brotherhood that transcends borders, Pakistan and the global Muslim community must not remain silent witnesses to this ongoing genocide. The blood of innocent Palestinian children cries out for justice, and their suffering demands our unwavering solidarity.
The destruction of three houses in Gaza City during the recent storms, in areas already devastated by Israeli bombardment, serves as yet another reminder that the Zionist entity's war against Palestinian existence knows no bounds.
May Allah grant patience to the grieving families and swift justice to the oppressed. The resistance of the Palestinian people, like the eternal flame of faith, shall never be extinguished by the forces of occupation and tyranny.
