Palestine is a country torn apart by war and conflict, a once peaceful country before its occupation. But all that’s left of it is despair.
On Friday 5 August 2022, a three day airstrike jeopardized Palestinians lives. Leaving 31 killed including 6 children and 260 seriously wounded.
Why is Palestine suffering like this? Why are Palestinians constantly being targeted? Why is Palestinians not receiving the recognition and justice that they deserve? If people knew more about the atrocious and hostile treatment of Palestinians, would they help?
Since 1984, a day hasn’t gone by where Palestinians are able to live freely without the fear of being killed or arrested. Their homes have been destroyed multiple times, and by the time they finish building their houses again, they are being wrecked by conflict.
Many do not even have homes or even electricity. Medical equipment is low and water supplies are being cut by Israel. How are Palestinians supposed to live without such basic human rights and needs, essential for survival?
We need to change the way Palestinians are treated. No one should be treated like this!
What if you were in the shoes of a Palestinian person, how would you feel fearing for your life every day? Afraid to go outside? Afraid to speak up? Afraid of being punished for what is right? Palestinians have lived for years like this.
When will the day come when Palestinians can rejoice with one another and not be instilled with fear? By supporting Palestinians we can end the pain they have endured for over 50 years.

Palestinian Lives Matter. We need to look for ways to help others and not ourselves. The international community has a duty to highlight the plight of people of Palestine and should advocate to restore peace in Palestine by helping them get past this unfortunate tragedy.
