Our situation is terror of dying any minute. As much as possible, we portion food and water. Every day, there are long lines for food and drinking water. We don’t know when we feel the wrath of the airplanes as we are filling up our drinking water.
Fear and worry all around the clock, day and night. We barely sleep interrupted 3-4 hours, because the madness of the attacks escalates at night.
Our kids are terrified. My son is a year and a half old and he doesn’t get off his mom’s lap or mine, he doesn’t eat, he just wants to nurse.
In the midst of all these conditions, there’s big hope that things resolve in a minute. Every day we thank God that we still have life in us.
