Bureij!!!

On last Friday, an explosion occurred in a house in Bureij (a refugee camp in Gaza).
An absurd thing has happened- no one really knows what caused this explosion. A member of the Islamic jihad has died and some members of his family and neighbors.
The 'Almizan' centre - said that there is no proof that Israel is responsible , on the other hand, Khaled Albatsh, from the jihad party has declared that Israel is the only one to blame.

Soon a fight in the media between these two sides began. I guess that no one can really say the truth about this sad incident so no one can really tell the cause of this explosion.

I surely wonder, if the jihad party is the one that can tell the objective truth in this case, because it is not the first time that such an explosion occurs in buildings in Gaza because of explosives hidden inside them.

But…My biggest problem in this incident is why the 'Almizan' centre is dealing with issues such as this one. Aren't they supposed to be dealing with much more important issues??
People have no food on their tables, and not even electricity on daily basis.
There are much important issues to deal with in Gaza! Please help our children and brothers out there!

I really hope that every humanitarian institute in Gaza is making the biggest efforts in order to make every child in Gaza healthy and not hungry.


Yours truly,

What a week!

Some interesting days in ramallah!

It started few days ago, while the snow came to visit ramallah. It was a superb experience for the young kids here.

These kids haven't got so many options for enjoying their selves and having some good time.

Watching the snow going down was a spectacular scene- just after few hours, all of ramallah was filled with white snow! What a nice view. The roads and pavements were all full of snow!

After this experience, a bad one has occurred..

Israel decided to kill almost 10 people in Gaza. Most of them were innocent. People say it was an answer for the suicide bomb that occurred in Israel few hours before that. I wonder what these innocent people in Gaza had to do with the bomb?! Why should they suffer? The life in Gaza is not easy anyway, so making it even harder is a death punish for some people.

Another interesting thing was the breaking of the wall between Gaza and rafah. What an event. Hamas had an idea, (a crazy one, for the matter of fact..), and they did all they can in order to bring it to reality. Good to know that someone cares about the lack of food in Gaza. I wonder if there is a way to keep the borders open all year long?

Israel has closed the border since Hamas got to role the strip, and that is the situation these days.


I really hope that the border will stay open as long as possible,

Your truly,

Asad al nimr.
