What is happening right now is just more and more war crimes, but believe me, it’s the final test for the humanity. If the humanity failed the Palestinians and the people of Jabalia, Beit Hanoun, Beit Lahya more right now, that means that [speaks in Arabic]. Just don’t blame anyone if he is or she is killing anyone or stealing the lands of anyone else. Because you approved it for Israel. What else we need to tell you to move or to do anything? Actually, this is not to tell you to move. This is only for documentation. One day, you will just watch all of these. I don’t know if we will be like alive or not. But this is what Israel is doing and has done.”

 

TRANSCRIPT of Bisan’s words:
[CONTINUATION IN THE REPLIES; If you catch any errors, let me know!]

Are you following? Are you following what is happening now in the north of Gaza Strip? What is happening in Jabalia town, Jabalia refugee camp, in Beit Lahya, in Beit Hanoun? What is happening in these places? Have you heard about these names during the past two weeks? Because it’s almost two weeks since the Israeli army started the ground invasion and the siege of the north of Gaza Strip, where hundreds of thousands of people are still besieged, starved, without any hospitals, without any shelters, without any safe places.

[On-screen is a map of the Gaza Strip. To the west of the strip is the Mediterreanean Sea. The strip is divided into five (5) regions. From north to south, they are North Gaza, Gaza, Middle Area, Khan Younis, and Rafah. On the upper left corner of the map is a smaller map showing Israel in the centre, The West Bank in the east and the Gaza Strip in the west with a red box surrounding it.]

Before talking about the north of Gaza Strip, I’d like really to talk to you about the geography of Gaza Strip. Okay, so, Gaza Strip is a very crowded, small piece of land. Um, the area is about three hundred sixty (360) square kilometers. And it’s actually divided into five governorates. We have the north of Gaza Strip. We have Gaza City, then we have the middle area, Khan Younis, and Rafah. Okay, this is how we divide our strip.

[On-screen is another map of the Gaza Strip with the same details as the last one shown, except that the five (5) regions are coloured in blue and that the region names “Gaza” and “Middle Area” are named “Gaza City” and “Deir El-Balah” respectively. Next to the region names are their respective population sizes, which read: North Gaza: 440,000; Gaza City: 750,000; Deir El-Balah: 320,000; Khan Younis: 430,000; Rafah: 275,000. Two additional labels on the map can be seen: 1) “Wadi Gaza” situated next to the highlighted border between Gaza City and Deir El-Balah, and 2) “Rafah Border Crossing” situated at the southern tip of the border between Rafah and Egypt.]
