"The world must see through the language being used. The term “humanitarian” is a mask. What is being proposed is not relief but imprisonment. What is being prepared is not shelter but a system of control designed to make displacement permanent.

If you read those headlines, do not imagine children playing safely in neat new towns. Imagine them staring through barbed wire, asking why they cannot go home. Imagine mothers queueing for a ration of flour under the eyes of soldiers. Imagine fathers pacing at night, unable to protect their families from the indignity of being treated as captives.

For us in Gaza, the worst may still be ahead. We returned home believing the nightmare was beginning to end. Instead, we live in the shadow of a new displacement, one that could erase even the ruins we call ours. This is the horror that defines our present: not only surviving bombardment, but living every day with the dread that the next chapter is already written, that the hardest chapter is still to come."
