For a moment, I felt like I had died.</p><p style="margin:0px 0px 20px;color:rgb( 54 , 55 , 55 );line-height:26px;font-size:16px">I lifted my head from the pillow, still unaware of what was happening around me. The air was filled with grey dust.</p><p style="margin:0px 0px 20px;color:rgb( 54 , 55 , 55 );line-height:26px;font-size:16px">Suddenly, the screams of my five children pierced my ears. I couldn’t tell whether we were alive or dead and buried under the rubble. I rushed to hold them.</p><p style="margin:0px 0px 20px;color:rgb( 54 , 55 , 55 );line-height:26px;font-size:16px">More explosions followed—Israeli airstrikes pounded Gaza relentlessly and without warning last night.</p><p style="margin:0px 0px 20px;color:rgb( 54 , 55 , 55 );line-height:26px;font-size:16px">“Mama! Are we going to die?” my terrified 12-year-old daughter, Saida, asked me, her body trembling with fear.</p><p style="margin:0px 0px 20px;color:rgb( 54 , 55 , 55 );line-height:26px;font-size:16px">I couldn’t answer. I was in shock. I looked for my husband, who had been sleeping beside me, but I couldn’t find him. Moments later, he emerged from the dust, holding pieces of cloth soaked in water. He told me and the children to cover our mouths and noses to protect ourselves from the suffocating dust.</p><p style="margin:0px 0px 20px;color:rgb( 54 , 55 , 55 );line-height:26px;font-size:16px">I noticed the walls of the adjacent room had completely collapsed. That was the room we usually slept in, but by chance, my husband and I decided to sleep with our five children in a warmer room last night. I had no idea this trivial decision would save our lives.</p><p style="margin:0px 0px 20px;color:rgb( 54 , 55 , 55 );line-height:26px;font-size:16px">I quickly threw on my abaya, grabbed my three-year-old daughter, Masak, in my arms, and my husband carried our five-year-old daughter, Hour. Our three other children—12-year-old Saida, 10-year-old Zein, and 8-year-old Sham—were close behind us as we ran out of the house, not knowing if we were escaping death or racing toward it.</p><p style="margin:0px 0px 20px;color:rgb( 54 , 55 , 55 );line-height:26px;font-size:16px">Outside, we saw our neighbors’ house—the Jamasi family—reduced to a pile of rubble. It had taken a direct hit.</p><p style="margin:0px 0px 20px;color:rgb( 54 , 55 , 55 );line-height:26px;font-size:16px">We stood in shock watching paramedics and civil defense teams pulling them out of the ruins. They retrieved 11 people from the house. Five of them were dead, including an eight-year-old girl named Siwar. She had been playing outside her house the day before. Now she was gone.</p><div class="captioned-image-container-static" style="font-size:16px;line-height:26px;margin:32px auto"><table class="image-wrapper" width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align:center"></td><td class="content" align="left" width="1016" style="text-align:center"><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://substack.com/redirect/0602ac00-3dfc-4c41-a4dc-f60b0fd83a35?j=eyJ1IjoiMmQyNHN1In0.QBJItgXAYmMB-m6pU3wRqgx3XPBZIXPEJsI0QJLEGDA" style="padding:0px;width:auto;height:auto;border:none;text-decoration:none;display:block;margin:0px" target="_blank"><img class="wide-image" alt="" width="550" height="621.4566929133858" style="vertical-align:middle;display:block;height:auto;margin:0px auto;border:none !important;width:auto !important;max-width:100% !important" src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1100,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fcaa2c26c-cb26-480d-8534-28e55941e0ba_1016x1148.jpeg"></a></td><td style="text-align:center"></td></tr></tbody></table>Eight-year-old Siwar was one of several members of the Jamasi family killed in an Israeli airstrike on their home in Gaza City on March 18, 2025.
