This young lady lives in Gaza. We comunicate through Twitter.
Waiting for life-saving medicine to be delivered from the tunnels
Waiting for the morning sonic booms from the F-16’s to rattle my shutters
Waiting for the constant buzz of the drones to end
Waiting for the tat-tat-tat of M-16’s as they shoot at unarmed fishermen
Waiting for the leaflet telling me to evacuate
Waiting for the ground to shake from another deadly air strike
Waiting for the next death notice and funeral
Waiting for Israel to recognise we too are humans
