Humankind, Stop the Blockade of Gaza! Enough!
Amid the ruins of what used to be a hospital, a young doctor holds a trembling baby in her arms. The oxygen ran out three days ago. The lights flicker only for a few hours each day. Outside the shattered window, mothers wait in line for a few drops of clean water. It now more precious than gold.
The world remains silent. Only the buzz of drones fills the sky over Gaza, as if to remind us that humanity has lost its direction.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 69,000 lives have been lost since the recent escalation of war in the Gaza Strip. But numbers alone cannot convey the truth. Behind every digit lies a body unburied, a child who no longer knows how to play, and parents staring blankly at the ruins of their future.
WHO warns that Gaza is now on the brink of total humanitarian collapse. Hunger is spreading, hospitals have failed, and clean water has all but disappeared.
The blockade has turned Gaza into the largest open-air prison on Earth. There is no freedom of movement, no adequate medical supplies, no safe passage for the dying. In the past year alone, more than half of Gaza’s healthcare facilities have shut down.
Around 80 percent of its people rely entirely on food aid — aid that is often trapped at the border, blocked by bureaucracy or politics. At Al-Shifa Hospital, surgeries are sometimes performed without full anesthesia, because medicine never arrives in time.
And the modern world, which claims to be civilized, watches with its eyes wide open.
Nations gather in diplomatic halls, trading statements, while Gaza’s babies are born underground.
This is no longer about politics. This is about humanity stolen in the name of security. Every shipment of aid withheld at the border is another form of violence — silent, deliberate, and deadly.
In an age where humans can walk on Mars and create artificial intelligence, we still fail to deliver clean water a few kilometers into Gaza. The tragedy of our civilization is not technological failure. It is the loss of empathy!
We have built walls higher than bridges, and defended arguments louder than compassion.
Gaza is our mirror, reflecting how progress without conscience becomes another form of blindness.
Humankind, stop justifying violence with the language of history. End the blockade that has killed more children than bullets ever could.
Every drop of water withheld is a betrayal of our shared humanity. The world does not lack resources. It only lacks the courage to say, “enough!”
Help Gaza not because they are Palestinians. But because they are human beings. Like us, who wish to live, eat, breathe, and dream. End the blockade, not for politics, but for the survival of our own humanity.
For if the world continues to turn its eyes away from Gaza, then it is not only the children there who are dying. It is our collective conscience that is fading, one silent day at a time.
