 "I am writing this from a hospital bed in Gaza, it has been almost two months since my husband and son died in an Israeli airstrike and I almost died too," Suha said in her piece.

He said, "Every day I used to take pictures of Ahmed and see him growing up. I was imagining how Ahmed would go to school and then go to college. I thought in my mind that Ahmed would be a doctor, engineer." I saw him becoming someone's husband and father in my thoughts, I imagined the future of my beautiful son.

Suha Naseer wrote 'Then the war broke out on October 7 and our life turned upside down, after which I became worried for my family including my siblings' family.

An Israeli attack killed all but six of the 31 people who took refuge in Soha's home, including her young child and husband Mohammed.

'Didn't know that this is the last kiss I am giving to my son

In the letter, Suha wrote, 'Men I didn't know pulled me out from under the rubble, I was screaming loudly to save my child, I was crying and begging them, I couldn't believe it. Ahmed was with me a few minutes ago, when I kissed Ahmed before the attack, I didn't know that it was the last kiss I was going to give him.

According to the woman, Muhammad, my husband was everything to me, now he is gone but he will be dear to me for the rest of my life, Israel deprived me of my child and killed him for no fault of my own. I want to wake up'

"Together with all the people of Gaza, especially women, I want to end this massacre, we need to be able to heal our wounds," says Soha.
