For 17 months, Ahmed Al-Hissi, a 54-year-old fisherman from Gaza’s Al-Shati refugee camp, hasn’t touched his fishing rod. It remains in the storage room by the port where he stashed it shortly after Israel launched its onslaught on the Strip, and he hasn’t dared retrieve it — even after the ceasefire took hold. “We have large families, and fishing is our only source of income,” he explained to +972 Magazine.

Amid the haze of the Israeli army’s manifold raids on medical facilities in the Gaza Strip over the past year and a half, it is easy to lose sight of their human impact. The story of Dr. Mahmoud Abu Shahada, the chief of orthopedics at Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, helps to reveal their arbitrary brutality and cruelty. Abu Shahada was one of 70 medical staff arrested along with dozens of patients on Feb. 17, 2024, during Israel’s invasion of the hospital.

It has been exactly three weeks since Albina Abu Safiya last heard from her husband. On Dec. 27, Israeli forces arrested Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in the city of Beit Lahiya, in a raid that forced the last functioning health facility in northern Gaza to shut completely.

At around 7:30 a.m. on the morning of Dec. 7, 2023, my son’s tiny footsteps echoed down the hallway as I reached for my cup of tea. After a week away from home reporting on Israel’s onslaught on the Gaza Strip, which was then entering its second month, I had returned the previous night to be with my family. I was trying to create a sense of calm within our walls, away from the chaos and terror outside. It lasted only seconds.

Over the past several weeks, Palestinian olive farmers in Gaza have been desperately trying to salvage what remains of their crops. For many of them, that’s not much at all: over three-quarters of olive trees in the Strip have been destroyed by Israel’s attacks over the last year. Many trees that were not directly bombed or bulldozed shed their fruits as a result of the force of nearby explosions, which have also limited the ability of farmers to safely access their groves.
