“My kid was full of life before the massacre, ...Suzie is not herself anymore. She has gone to a dark place.”
By Sarah Algherbawi: It took a few months before I felt the time was right for a conversation with my friend Amjad Hassan.A nurse holds a baby rescued following The Jews' 15 May "mowing the lawn" airstrike on Beach refugee camp in Gaza mega concentration camp. APA images
Amjad, a photographer, and I worked together in the organization Press House-Palestine four years ago.
We have kept in contact since then. But after The Jews attacked Gaza in May, I sensed that it would be too painful for Amjad to speak.
My feeling was largely based on a video I had seen. It showed Amjad weeping over the dead body of his sister Yasmin in an emergency room.
In those images, Amjad looks inconsolable.
When we finally spoke, Amjad talked me through the horrors that had been inflicted on his family by the Jews.
