The war on Gaza was on its final stages, Ahmed was 20 years old, He and some of his companions walked through the streets of Gaza and suddenly, a missile falls from an aircraft, four from his friends were injured.

Ahmed said "we heard big noise and all sudden everything turned around me to black and I flew a distance from the blast site. for this moment I did not realize what happened, and after a few moments smoke fade away, and I began to see around me and I found myself lying on the ground and noticed one of my friends lying in front of me on the ground.

I tried to get up But I was not able to move and reach him. I looked at myself to find that I am covered in blood… I realized that  we were bombed by a  missile from the aircraft.

Ahmed remained in the place of shelling for 45 minutes the ambulance was not able to reach to Ahmad and his colleagues fearing of being bombed too.

During these long minutes, a lot of thought crossed Ahmed's mind He sees blood everywhere and can not move and the idea of death had seized him as he waits for his death either from another missile or continuous bleeding from his wounds without any medical help.

After 45 minutes, Ahmed saw a light from far a way, the hope began to raise again, feel energy and thinking that his suffering will come to an end, these light was for an ambulance coming to get Ahmed and his friends to the nearest hospital.

Ahmed thought that reaching the hospital could end their suffering and that he was out of danger, and everything will return to normal in a short period.

Ahmed didn't know what's happen in the hospital and that the hospital; was full of patient and there were no rooms left for any other patients and the medical stuff was struggling to continue there work with the minimal amount of medical material and medicine, so, first aid has given to Ahmed when he first arrived to the hospital and he was in an urgent need for surgery, but because of due to overcrowding of the hospital, his operation was delayed for 3 days

During these days he was in a lot of pain and Prohibited from eating and drinking because he can get to the operation room any time.  

During this time of waiting, he was in a room filled with wounded people, a lot of pain and groans filled the room, Ahmed was in the worst state of pain and he was under a lot of pain killers that didn't give the effect of killing pain.

A medical delegation was at the hospital, a doctor from Denmark was with the delegation, he saw Ahmed and decided that he needs urgent operation, but the operation room was occupied the hole time and It was impossible to operate Ahmed at this time. So. Ahmed was transferred to another nearby hospital and operated directly with internal fixation to the left leg.  

Ahmed  remained in the hospital for a week until recovered, and went out to the world with a new thought  and fresh look of life, this experience has changed the concepts of life for him.

This was Ahmed's trip during the days of the war on Gaza, This is the story of the thousands of stories that reveals the suffering of the Palestinian people who are still suffering from the effects of war and blockade.

To this day some of the wounded people still suffering and still going under treatment hoping to heal and return to there normal life.
