In the heart of turmoil, the narrative of Gaza unfolds—one that weaves together stories of survival and resistance. The Gaza Justice Tribunal emerges as a beacon of hope, urging the world to confront uncomfortable truths. Mohammed Al-Saidi stands at the forefront of this struggle, embodying the pain of loss and the longing for justice. As a journalist exiled from his homeland, he carries the weight of Gaza’s history alongside its present anguish. In every story he tells, he invites us to reflect on the consequences of war—not just viewed through statistics, but through the human experiences hidden behind the numbers. How can we remain indifferent when every silence echoes a cry for justice?
Transitioning from these reflections, Al-Saidi’s journey emphasizes the resilience of the human spirit amid unimaginable adversity. His commitment to journalism as a form of resistance illustrates the intangible bond between truth and justice. The “Gaza Justice Tribunal” symbolizes not just a legal framework, but a collective yearning for accountability. As Mohammed reports from afar, each update he rings through social media serves as both reminder and challenge to the global audience—do we truly listen? Through his powerful narrative, he urges us all to stand with Gaza, recognizing that every act of storytelling strengthens the call for dignity and justice we must not ignore. Driven by the hope that change is possible, he remains a testament to the power of truth in the face of oppression!
The Reality of War in Deir al-Balah
In Deir al-Balah, Mohammed Al-Saidi witnessed the harsh realities of war first-hand. The sounds of destruction echoed through his childhood, marking the days and nights with fear. He recalls the 2014 assault vividly. For nearly two months, explosions filled the air. Families lived in constant dread, wondering if their homes would still stand the next day. Ramadan, a time typically associated with peace and reflection, turned into a nightmare. Imagine breaking your fast while listening to bombs fall nearby! It shattered the sanctity of the holy month.
Even after the war ended, the scars remained etched in the landscape. Mohammed saw the aftermath everywhere he looked. Homes lay in ruins, and memories of the past haunted him. He remembers the friends he lost, including a schoolmate who had taken on the role of family protector. This loss struck deep. For Mohammed, the so-called “safe zones” were anything but safe. The irony gnaws at him. People sought refuge but found only death. The weight of these memories never leaves him, even in exile. Distance offers no relief from such pain. It only amplifies the longing for home.
Illusion of Safety: The Fragility of “Safe Zones”
Authorities labeled certain areas as “safe,” but the reality told a different story. Families fled to these zones, hoping for safety, yet found only tragedy. Mohammed’s firsthand experience exposes the fragility of these labels. He lost many loved ones in places designated as safe. This stark contrast between expectation and reality haunts him. How can one trust a system that fails to protect? The memories of his neighbors, who lost their lives, linger in his heart. Each name represents a story cut short, a life extinguished too soon.
The concept of safety became a cruel joke. People believed they could find refuge, but the bombs followed them. Mohammed’s schoolmate, who once laughed and played, now remains a haunting memory. The grief of losing a friend weighs heavily on his conscience. He often reflects on this tragedy, realizing that safety was merely an illusion. Exile may have spared him from the immediate danger, yet the emotional toll remains unbearable. The distance does not diminish his pain; it only transforms it into a deeper longing for justice.
The Silent Suffering: Medical Neglect in Gaza
War inflicts wounds that go beyond the battlefield. In Gaza, many suffer silently due to a crumbling healthcare system. Mohammed vividly remembers his aunt’s husband, who struggled with illness long before the recent conflicts. His condition deteriorated as hospitals faced overwhelming challenges. Medicines became scarce, and treatments vanished. Tragically, he passed away—not from a bomb, but from neglect. The absence of care left a family shattered. His wife and seven children now grapple with an unbearable loss.
This loss illustrates a different side of war: the quiet deaths that go unnoticed. Mohammed feels the weight of these untold stories. Each patient who suffers in silence adds to the collective grief. The healthcare system’s collapse underscores the dire consequences of ongoing conflict. Lives that could have been saved slip away, unnoticed by the world. Mohammed believes that these stories deserve to be heard. They reveal the stark reality of living in a war-torn region. By sharing these narratives, he hopes to shed light on a hidden tragedy.

Exile and the Burden of Memory
Exile carries a heavy burden. For Mohammed, it means living with constant worry for his family in Gaza. Each day begins with uncertainty. Has his family survived another night? Communication becomes a precious commodity, often interrupted for weeks on end. Every message that arrives feels like a small miracle, a fragile connection across borders. Yet, sending money offers little relief. A significant portion disappears into fees, leaving families with barely enough to eat. This reality weighs on him heavily. He knows his support can’t replace the love and safety they need.
Living in exile doesn’t shield him from the emotional turmoil. Instead, it amplifies his longing for home. He feels the pain of separation with every passing day. The burden of memory becomes a constant companion. Each loss resonates deeply, reminding him of the loved ones he cannot reach. Mohammed understands that his heart remains tethered to Gaza. Despite the distance, the memories of his homeland refuse to fade. This dual existence—between hope and despair—shapes his identity. Yet, he remains determined to keep the stories alive. Thank you for joining him on this journey of remembrance and resistance at Gaza Tribunal.
