As tensions escalate in Gaza’s southernmost town of Rafah, residents like Khouly Al-Satri are facing increasingly dire conditions. The recent signals from Israel indicating a potential ground operation have compounded the hardships for refugees in the region.
Khouly, a kidney patient reliant on regular dialysis, shares her daily struggle with fatigue and weakness. “I can’t eat or drink properly because of the dialysis,” she explains, her voice embodying the exhaustion she feels. The lack of essential medical supplies and adequate nutrition has made her condition increasingly precarious.
“Why are they doing this to us? What have we done?” she asks, expressing a sentiment echoed by many in her community. The shortage of resources not only affects patients like Khouly but also the broader population of Rafah, who are grappling with restricted access to basic necessities amid the escalating conflict.
The situation highlights the urgent need for humanitarian assistance and a peaceful resolution to ease the suffering of Gaza’s residents. As the international community watches, individuals like Khouly hope for relief and the restoration of a semblance of normal life.
