The media has been abuzz with heartbroken tales of Palestinians since Israel declared war on October 7. Thousands of Palestinians – mostly children and women – embraced martyrdom while Israel's terror strikes left a trail of devastation.
Human rights champions across the world are feeling strong concerns for innocent Palestinians while Israel resumes cruel combat after a temporary truce expires.
The plight of Palestinians came to the spotlight during the seven-day pause when the exchange of detainees took place and the freed Palestinians shared their ordeal.
The international human rights bodies have been raising the demand for a permanent ceasefire and peaceful resolution of the issue.
What I worry about is the future of the innocents.
Will the ceasefire heal the wounds of the Palestinians?
Will it bring back the mother of a child?
Will it be able to have thousands of dashed dreams come true?
Since the onset of the genocide, Palestinians have been searching for a safe place they can call home while they struggle for survival. Moreover, social and mental issues are hitting them hard.
An immediate ceasefire to avert further damage be ensured for a safer and happier Palestine.
