A beautiful brother went looking for his family in the death zone–

Shajiya – There was a ceasefire today for 3 hours – so some of us internationals went to the area which I refer to as the ‘Death Zone’ – Shajiya, we went to see if we could help with the masses of injured amongst the rubble.
The Death Zone is unlike any destruction I have seen in my life – there is no place left without bombing, shelling or sniper shots. Total devastation.
We reached and there was a beautiful brother who was looking for his family. Doing our job, we made the decision collectively to help find the brother’s family amongst the annihilation.
Unfortunately, the danger starts, there is constant bombing very very very close by, drones literally above our heads and sniper shooting. We are ducking and diving, and weaving in and out of the rubble and destruction.

in this world justified as we're right, they are wrong is so.....there are just no words.
That poor man. Murder, that's all it is. Making more and more anger and hate. Perpetuating it. Spreading it around for all to partake in. Some might be sated, others are just going to develop a thirst for more and it will continue, guaranteed..
