If there is still a morning in Gaza that can be called “good.”
From a city where death no longer simply knocks on doors, but slips into moments of joy, snatching people away from their loved ones while they are simply trying to live one minute without fear.
The young man Anwar Shawqi Salmi has died after spending several days in the intensive care unit at Al-Shifa Hospital, following a gunshot wound to the head during the wedding ceremony of one of his relatives two days ago.
There was a wedding…
There were supposed to be ululations, laughter, photographs, and beautiful memories.
But in Gaza, even joy has become fragile in the face of death.
A single bullet was enough to turn what should have been a joyful memory for the family into a funeral, into a mother waiting for her son who will never return, and into a home receiving condolences instead of congratulations.
Anwar was not going to war.
He was going to a wedding.
And yet, he ended up in intensive care, and then he left this life.
What kind of city is this, where people cannot celebrate without fearing that their joy might turn into a funeral?
May God have mercy on Anwar Shawqi Salmi, and on everyone we have lost in such cruel ways.
In Gaza, we are not asking for a perfect life…
We simply want to live without every gathering, every street, and every moment of joy becoming another possibility of death. 💔
