I write this update from the heart of Gaza, For those who still carry a shred of humanity… For those wondering: how are we living? In truth, we are silently dying.

The situation has become unbearable. We no longer fear the bombs as much as we fear hunger.

Bread has disappeared. Flour is gone. Mothers grind what’s left of rice or lentils to bake on wood fires, just so a child feels they’ve eaten something. Baby formula is unavailable. We now drink salty water. Even tree leaves are no longer an option for those thinking of cooking them.

Markets are empty… No vegetables, no oil, no sugar, nothing. We wait in long lines under the sun or rain, hoping for a loaf of bread , if it exists , and often return with nothing.

Famine is not an exaggeration… It’s the reality we live every hour.

Children have become walking skeletons. Women faint from hunger while cooking , if there is anything to cook. The elderly do not complain… because no one is listening anymore.

Chaos is rising… Hunger has driven some to steal. Hunger has turned kindness into weakness, and silence into slow death. Chaos prevails because stomachs are empty, and hearts are broken.

I am Yamen, Not a journalist, not an activist, not seeking fame. I’m just a Palestinian young man trying to share his pain… and the pain of his family… and the pain of two million people trapped in this hell.

All my life, I dreamed of holding my child and playing with them, But now… I fear marriage. I fear bringing a child into this cruel world. And I thank God that all my attempts to get married have failed. Because I don’t know what I would say if my child screamed at me: “Feed me!”

I don’t write these words to seek pity… I write them to scream with whatever voice we have left.

We are not only dying under bombs… We are dying now: From hunger, oppression, isolation, and the world’s silence.

I write these words with a broken heart, I write them while I am hungry, Knowing that the ugliest phase of this war is not the bombs, But this phase: The phase of deliberate siege and starvation of an entire people.

To those who care… read this. To those with a conscience… share it. Because we have nothing left but our words… And because silence today is a crime.

With the Mario movie trending, let's not forget that Jack Black signed an open letter in support of Israel and also cancelled his band tour because Kyle made an anti-Trump joke.

This is my will and my final message. If these words reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice. First, peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessings.

Allah knows I gave every effort and all my strength to be a support and a voice for my people, ever since I opened my eyes to life in the alleys and streets of the Jabalia refugee camp. My hope was that Allah would extend my life so I could return with my family and loved ones to our original town of occupied Asqalan (Al-Majdal). But Allah’s will came first, and His decree is final. I have lived through pain in all its details, tasted suffering and loss many times, yet I never once hesitated to convey the truth as it is, without distortion or falsification—so that Allah may bear witness against those who stayed silent, those who accepted our killing, those who choked our breath, and whose hearts were unmoved by the scattered remains of our children and women, doing nothing to stop the massacre that our people have faced for more than a year and a half.

I entrust you with Palestine—the jewel in the crown of the Muslim world, the heartbeat of every free person in this world. I entrust you with its people, with its wronged and innocent children who never had the time to dream or live in safety and peace. Their pure bodies were crushed under thousands of tons of Israeli bombs and missiles, torn apart and scattered across the walls.

I urge you not to let chains silence you, nor borders restrain you. Be bridges toward the liberation of the land and its people, until the sun of dignity and freedom rises over our stolen homeland. I entrust you to take care of my family. I entrust you with my beloved daughter Sham, the light of my eyes, whom I never got the chance to watch grow up as I had dreamed.

I entrust you with my dear son Salah, whom I had wished to support and accompany through life until he grew strong enough to carry my burden and continue the mission.

I entrust you with my beloved mother, whose blessed prayers brought me to where I am, whose supplications were my fortress and whose light guided my path. I pray that Allah grants her strength and rewards her on my behalf with the best of rewards.

I also entrust you with my lifelong companion, my beloved wife, Umm Salah (Bayan), from whom the war separated me for many long days and months. Yet she remained faithful to our bond, steadfast as the trunk of an olive tree that does not bend—patient, trusting in Allah, and carrying the responsibility in my absence with all her strength and faith.

I urge you to stand by them, to be their support after Allah Almighty. If I die, I die steadfast upon my principles. I testify before Allah that I am content with His decree, certain of meeting Him, and assured that what is with Allah is better and everlasting.

O Allah, accept me among the martyrs, forgive my past and future sins, and make my blood a light that illuminates the path of freedom for my people and my family. Forgive me if I have fallen short, and pray for me with mercy, for I kept my promise and never changed or betrayed it.

Do not forget Gaza… And do not forget me in your sincere prayers for forgiveness and acceptance.
