Hell has a name: Gaza.

The systematic destruction of lives and the famine deliberately imposed on the Palestinian population, especially children, cannot be treated as "collateral damage" of a conflict. What we are witnessing is a horror film. A dark plot, starring starving children who, faced with horror, ask to die. Not because they have lost their minds, but because, in "paradise," they believe they will find what, in this world, was brutally taken from them: food, joy, comfort, hope, a home, and the family members who are gone.

This is hell. Not the fictional kind, with fire flowing like lava, but a real hell, inhabited by people who feel cold, pain, and hunger. A hell of rubble, blood, and silence. The silence of the international community, which could act, but doesn't, in the name of supposed "diplomacy." A hell where babies die of dehydration, children wander for days without food or knowing where to go, where amputations are performed without anesthesia, where hospitals are bombed. Where humanitarian aid is blocked, intercepted in international waters, and those who dare to cross them, carrying "ammunition" like powdered milk, serum, and medicine, are arrested. And their "weapons" are confiscated.

This is not a war between armies. It's barbarity. With soldiers operating drones and blowing the heads off children searching for food.

What is happening in Gaza is a humanitarian tragedy. It is a crime against humanity, the extermination of a people. While parliaments and leaders discuss technical terms to name the effects of the Zionist policies of the State of Israel, always protected by its "big brother," women, babies, and children continue to be murdered by bullets, bombs, thirst, and hunger.

It is deeply painful to acknowledge that those who inflict this suffering belong to a people who, not so long ago, were victims of one of the greatest humanitarian catastrophes in history. A people who survived the Shoah, who experienced the agony of the extermination camps, hunger, cold, and pain. A people whose history still lives on in the memory of the survivors of the Second World War and who, for that very reason, should be the first to rise up against practices similar to those they suffered.

What, then, justifies a highly trained, armed, fed, and hydrated army, under the pretext of fighting terrorist enemies, indiscriminately exterminating women, children, and babies, refugees under the few remaining roofs in Gaza? The answer is: there is no justification for the "surgical" attacks targeting hospitals, camps, markets, or people desperately trying to find water or food.

There is no possible neutrality in the face of hunger used as a weapon of war. No discourse can relativize the horror of seeing children dying, not from a lack of help, but from the intentional actions of blockades, sabotage, and traps. Aid is blocked. Ships loaded with food and medicine are intercepted. Every ten minutes that the world hesitates, another child dies.

Meanwhile, global powers stage speeches, balance alliances, and negotiate interests. They ignore the cry that echoes from the ruins, transmitted via the internet in real time. Perhaps for economic convenience, perhaps for profit from arms sales or the future "reconstruction economy." They profit from the deaths of children. Some nations, ironically, claim to negotiate with clauses that prohibit the use of weapons against Gaza. Do they believe in this fiction? Do they truly believe in this theory, or does it simply exempt these large and greedy capitalists of the war industry?

How long will they continue selling weapons to Israel? How long will major nations maintain the narrative of a “war on terror”? Diplomatic ruptures, so far, are symbolic, empty gestures in the face of the magnitude of the tragedy. And this silence kills. Frighteningly, every ten minutes, a child dies. That's 144 a day. 4.320 in 30 days.

There is commotion. There is some international mobilization. But what is its practical effect? ​​The UN announced in July 2025 that the Palestinian birth rate had fallen by 41%. This is not just statistics. It is confirmation of an ongoing extermination project.

Nevertheless, history shows that the Palestinian people do not give up. The Palestinian people, through their resistance, transform stones into symbols of struggle, drawing from the ruins of their destroyed homes the essence of hope. The genocide in Gaza demands urgent and firm responses. The question that remains is: how long will we continue to witness this horror film?
