    I think this is the biggest national anger grief sadness since the death of Yasser Arafat, the second largest funeral in #Jerusalem in fifty years since 2001 when Faisal al-Husseini passed away.

    Leaving Gaza was the most difficult decision of my life, my soul, my heart remained there, where my mother's grave is, my mind scattered, filled with fear for my beloved father, family, colleagues, and friends.

    My heart no longer has room for another loss, my soul has no room for another sadness., Today sadly I bid farewell to Samer without being able to participate in his funeral and offer support to his family and colleagues there.
    Samer Abu Daqqa, my dear colleague we were born in the same year, he was one of the last journalists I said goodbye to before leaving Gaza. On the morning of November 20, I went to say goodbye to my beloved colleagues I had worked with for two decades.

    Kader Zaanoun inside Al-Shifa hospital tells me that Israeli soldiers have begun storming it. “The soldiers fired a smoke bomb that caused people to suffocate," "I saw the soldiers entering the specialised surgical department,” Khader told me before contact with him was cut off.
