(Refiles to correct the linel line) * Alhabel uses sign language to raise awareness of Gaza’s struggle * Gazans feel unheard of despite mass suffering and high death toll * No ceasefire in sight, as Israel is planning to control Gaza city by Ebrahim Hajjjjjjjjjy, August 8. flown and film himself with sign language to declare the dangers of war to fellow Dowes Palestinians and his followers on social media. Alhabel, 30, who describes himself on his Instagram account as a ‘deaf journalist in Gaza’, says he wants to raise more awareness of the conflict – from devastating Israeli air strikes to the famine that now affects most of the population – by informing Palestinians and people abroad. Many Gazane, who has been bombarded by Israel for almost two years, does not complain that the world is hearing their voices, despite mass suffering with a death toll exceeding 60,000 people, according to the Gaza health authorities in the demolished enclaves. “I wanted to get my voice to the world and the voices of the deaf who can’t speak or hear, get their voice out there so someone can help us,” he said through his friend and interpreter Mohammed Moshtaha, whom he met during the war. “I tried to help, filming and doing a video from here and there, and publishing it so that we could make our voices heard in the world.” Alhabel has an Instagram follow -up of 141,000. His page, which shows him in a wing jacket and helmet, contains images of hunger, worn -out children and other suffering. He filmed a video and then returned to a tent to edit-one of the many where Palestinians sought shelter and safety during the war, which broke out when Hamas-led militants attacked Israel in October 2023 and drew great retaliation. Alhabel made images of people who collected flour from the ground while using sign language to explain the situation of Gazane, which reinforces the view of a global hunger monitor who warned a famine scenario. “As you can see, people collect flour mixed with sand,” he communicated. Alhabel and his family were displaced when the war began. They stayed in a school with tents. “There was no room for a person to rest even a little. I stayed in school for a year and a half, ‘he explained. Alhabel will probably be busy for some time. Despite mediation efforts, there are no signs of a ceasefire on the horizon. Israel’s political security cabinet approved a plan early Friday to take control of Gaza City as the country expands its military operations, despite the increasing criticism at home and abroad during the war. “We want this situation to be solved so that we can all be happy so that I can feed my children, and life can be beautiful,” Alhabel said.
