nDíl Chuimhne Naama Alaa Al-Din Hammad
and her six children, both born and unborn, murdered by
the Israeli “Defence” Forces, December 6, 2023 |
Like a flower sifted through agony
one lone man sits and searches
for his lost hope
Abu Ismail Hammad.
This man, he moves mountains
as if their murderous “war” was
no more and no less the mirage of
a madman without a strait jacket
and for all the graveyards-of-rubble
he will move, here,
in the Sabra neighborhood, Gaza City,
Palestine
it still seems we are going nowhere. (Contd.)
Abu Ismail Hammad
“GAZA CITY—For 200 days, Abu Ismail Hammad has been digging beneath his home in Gaza City, painstakingly collecting the remains of his wife and unborn child. He has been using a flour sifter to find their bone fragments hidden in the sand.
His entire family was killed just under two months into Israel’s genocidal assault, when an airstrike hit their home in the Sabra neighborhood on December 6, 2023. His five children—Ismail, Mohammed, Ghaith, Jana, and Joudi—aged between eight to 16 years old, were all killed, along with his wife, Naama Alaa Al-Din Hammad. Naama was nine months pregnant with their sixth child, a girl they were planning to name Haifa, after her martyred aunt. His brother, sister-in-law and all of their children were also killed.”
