Gamaal Al Attar,

Ngo-Agasti, 2008, eGaza

Ilanga laligqats' ubhobhoyi ngo-Agasti 23, 2008, kwaye wonke umntu waseGaza wayevuka ukuze alungiselele uSuku lwe-D. Yimini ebeyilindile wonke umntu eGaza; ngenye imini siya kuziva ngathi kukho abantu ehlabathini abasikhathaleleyo. Imini siya kuziva ukuba singabohlanga loluntu, kwaye abazalwana noodade bethu eluntwini bayasikhathalela imizabalazo yethu yemihla ngemihla. Iiscouts ezivela kumaqela ahlukeneyo escout ziye zabhalisa ukuba kwikomiti yolwamkelo kwizikhephe zokuloba. Ngoko, saya ngqo kwizibuko elikhulu laseGaza ngo-08:00, yaye, kunye namapolisa awayelapho ukuze akhusele izihlwele, sakhwela izikhephe saza saqalisa uhambo oluya kulwandle oluvulekileyo.

Iiyure zokulinda ezikhitshaneni zenza wonke umntu waguliswa lulwandle, kwaye, emini emaqanda, uninzi lwethemba lethu labhabha nomoya. Kwakubonakala ngathi la maphenyane mabini ayeza. Besikrwelwe. Onke amaphupha neemvakalelo zokuba kukho umntu osikhathaleleyo aye encipha njengoko ixesha lihamba. UJamal El Khoudari (umququzeleli weli phulo) wathetha kwinkomfa yabezindaba ukuba iinqanawa ziye zalahleka kwaye zenza isizathu esithile. Mna nezinye iintlondi zaseGaza asizange sizimamele izingxengxezo. Abantu baseGaza babebafuna apha ngoku.

Uncumo olwalukho kubo bonke abantu kusasa, abantu abavuyayo abasezibukweni belinde ukuphuma kwelanga, nethemba lokubona umntu oza kusinyamekela latshintsha laba kukuphoxeka okukhulu. Emini emaqanda, phantse wonk’ ubani wayelishiyile izibuko waza wabuyela ekhaya.

Akukho Bani Ukhathalayo NgeGaza

Endleleni ebuyela ekhaya, ndabona iGaza imnyama kakhulu, kwaye inyembezi encinci yaphuma emehlweni am. “Kukhangeleka ngathi akukho bani usikhathaleleyo,” inkwenkwe intlola yandixelela. Ndavula umlomo wam ndimxelela ukuba asiyonyani le nto, kodwa andizange ndifumane nelizwi lokuthetha.

Njengazo zonke ii-scouts, ndagoduka, ndahlamba, ndaza ndazama ukuphumla emva kosuku olude phantsi kwelanga. Sonke sasiguliswa lulwandle yaye sigula ezintliziyweni zethu. Ndangqengqa ebhedini yam ndalala ndilibale ngesintu. Ndibeke intloko yam phezu komqamelo ndacinga. "Sizethu, kwaye akukho mntu usikhathaleleyo."

Kodwa Izikhephe ziyafika

Emva koko umama weza egumbini lam enoncumo ebusweni bakhe, "Jamal, izikhephe ziyabonakala kumabonakude." Watsho uMama. Ngoko ndatsiba ebhedini yam ndaza ndambuza, “Nini?” Wathi, “Ziindaba nje ezothusayo.” Andisakhumbuli ukuba njani, nini, okanye kwakutheni ukuze ndizifumane ndikhwele ibhasi ebuyela ezibukweni kunye neescouts. Andisakhumbuli ukuba sakwazi njani ukuba kunye kwakhona ukuya kwiZibuko laseGaza. Sonke satsibela kwizikhephe ezahlukeneyo zokuloba saza saya kulwandle oluvulekileyo kwakhona.

Apho, elundini phayaa, ndabona izinto ezintathu: Ukutshona kwelanga okuhle, iiSS U khu luleko, kunye neSS IGaza yasimahla. Kwicala elingakwimpuma yeZibuko, babesanda abantu baseGaza ababehlanganisana. Ngesi sihlandlo, ubuso babo obudanileyo babungekho. Sasiva abantu behleka bevuya njengoko babezama ukubukela amaphenyane.

Kwimizuzu embalwa, abo bethu kwiinqanawa zokuloba basondela kufutshane ne IGaza yasimahla, yaye ndabona iflegi yoxolo ijinga, noMaria Del Mar Fernandez ewangawangisa iflegi yasePalestina ekhwaza. Ngequbuliso, ndabona abantwana abaninzi bekhulula izikipa zabo kwaye betsibela elwandle, bequbha ukuya elwandle. IGaza yasimahla. Iphenyane lam elincinane landisondeza kufutshane namaphenyane, yaye njengoko iinyawo zam zazichukumisa umgangatho, ndothuka. Ingqondo yam yabethabethana njengoko ndilibala konke ukubandezeleka kwam ebomini bam phantsi komngcelele wakwaSirayeli. Ndashukuma ndaya kumntu owayezolile kwaye ekude kancinane kuyo yonke imidiya.

"Heyi, wamkelekile eGaza." Ndatsho ndincumile.

Bendimane ndiwaphinda la mazwi ndisiya ndonwaba ngokuxhawulana ngezandla. Ecaleni kwendlwana, ndabona umfana onemisipha eneTattoos ezingalweni zakhe kunye nekepusi entle. ''Ngukapteni?'' ndazibuza. Emva kokumxhawula, ndaqhubeka ndithetha naye, ibe ngemizuzwana nje, saba ngabahlobo. Wayengumfana wase-Italiya olungileyo owayemkile e-Italiya efuna ubulungisa nenyaniso ogama lakhe lalinguVittorio Utopia Arrigoni. Ndabelana naye ngeflegi yasePalestina, kwaye saqala ukuphephezela kumajelo eendaba kunye namashumi amawaka abantu ababeze kubona izikhephe kwizibuko lethu elincinane.

Kangangexesha elifutshane, izikhephe zazijikeleza izibuko; kwaza kwafika ixesha lokuphuma kwezikhephe nokubulisa iindwendwe zethu kumhlaba waseGaza. Thina ma-scouts sema emgceni kwaye sakhahlela amaPalestina amatsha awayesuka kwihlabathi lonke enomyalezo omnye, “Hlala uBuntu”.

Andisokuze ndizilibale zonke izandla ezincinci nezinkulu eziphume kwisihlwele ukuza kuxhawula amatshantliziyo. Andinakuyilibala indlela ababebashuke ngayo abantu emva kwaloo mini inde kakhulu belindile ezibuko, kodwa andikwazi nokuwulibala umoya owawusesihlweleni emva kokuba loo maqhawe ehleli elunxwemeni. Ndikhumbula ndigoduka ngala mini ndiphethe ibhetri echajiwe ubomi nethemba.

Amaphenyane Azisa Ithemba

Izikhephe ezibini bezingazisi izinto kubantu baseGaza, kodwa bazisa eyona nto ibaluleke kakhulu, Bazisa ithemba elaneleyo kubantu abangaphezu kwezigidi ezisisi-1.5 abahlala phantsi komqobo ukuba ngenye imini siya kukhululeka.

Isikhephe sabasetyhini ukuya eGaza

Izikhephe zabaseTyhini eziya eGaza ziza kuhamba ngomkhumbi phakathi kuSeptemba ziphinde zicele umngeni kuthintelo lomkhosi waselwandle wase-Israel eGaza kwaye sibonise ukuba siyabakhathalela abantu baseGaza.
