Haitham al-Haddad – Standing Strong – Calls out Muslims for Rafah, Palestine

			I would like to remind myself and my brothers and sisters to continue making dua for our brothers
and sisters in Palestine in Gaza.
		

			Obviously, I am sure you are following the news regarding the the Rafa district and there is a
possibility of an attack against Farah Rafa district and actually, it did happen or it did start
yesterday. Rafa is a very, very small area, you can say that it is maybe one mile by less than two
miles. And it is they said that the with the camps around it, it is like three miles by maybe four
miles. And in that area, imagine three something plus or minus miles and miles 4.5 miles plus or
		

			minus, there are one point or that is 1.4 million Palestinians who have been displaced from their
main cities, north of Gaza, middle of Gaza, and even south of Gaza to this place, and they are
coordinate because there is the sea from the
		

			west and there is the the wall, the wall that was built, unfortunately by the authorities on the
Egyptian side, and so they are coordinate and the United Nation, even America, which is okay
surprising.
		

			They said that any attack on on that area, that region, at this moment will become will lead to
heavy
		

			deaths casualties, it will lead to a catastrophe or real catastrophe.
		

			It did start last night or yesterday on a smaller scale. And so, anyway, their situation is
devastating. Even brothers and sisters, if we leave the war or deaths out of killing out of you
know, bombing NGO or out of airstrikes, the WTO, the W H O, the World Health Organization,
		

			a few days ago, they say that
		

			there might be
		

			you know, diseases there in that area and in Gaza and maybe the number of people who may die out of
there, those diseases will exceed the number of people who die out of you know, bombing or
airstrikes, etc. Because imagine there is no sewage system, there are no hospitals, there is no
medicine, there is no you know, personal hygiene
		

			needs for women, okay, for even with children, for women who are giving birth, etc. So, the
situation there is beyond imagination, let alone that there is famine, real famine, because there
are no
		

			you know, aid that is
		

			getting there.
		

			Yesterday and today. They said that there was some aid that was going there, but that aid doesn't
even suffice. We 1% of the total needs in rasa.
		

			So, make dua make dua for them, my dear brothers and sisters and those who are involved in in
political activism, they should continue putting pressure so we might see a ceasefire.
		

			We might see this is the most important thing that aid Yeah, that aid goes to Lhasa. It is really
		

			shame, shameful
		

			moments and shameful period of history that Muslims are you
		

			You know,
		

			been suffering from a blockade for so many years, some people say 17 years, some people say even
more than 17 years.
		

			And everything that goes to them is very controlled, whether electricity, water, food, supplies,
medical supplies, it is very controlled. And
		

			they have been living in that situation for these many years. And despite that,
		

			next to them, there is a Muslim country that is an Arab country
		

			that is not passing or allowing even enough aid to go to them.
		

			And, and, and even that area is surrounded by many Muslim countries, many Arab countries Wallahi it
is very devastating. And I don't know, when people may be 20 years later, 30 years later, when they
read this period of history, how they are going to read it. Yeah, when they read it, how are they
going to see what is how can they imagine that this could have happened to 2.4 or three millions of
Muslims under blockade surrounded by by by at least two that what they themselves describe as their
		

			enemies? And the everything that goes to them is controlled and they are living in this blockade.
Yeah. And
		

			the whole Muslim Ummah, is watching this, of course, as individuals Alhamdulillah that individuals
are doing
		

			as much as they can.
		

			Maybe it is not enough. Maybe they need maybe we need brainstorms to see what else can be done.
		

			But, but the leadership of the Muslim ummah is letting those people down. So it is really a very sad
moment of our history. However, we all have our trust in Allah, Allah, Allah and the people there in
Gaza. They have their trust in Allah, Allah, Allah and they are still resisting and they are still
		

			standing for their rights for their freedom. And they want to continue the journey of struggle until
they get their own rights.
		

			May Allah Allah Allah help them please, please brothers, sisters, don't forget to them. Don't forget
them don't say well, it has been more than four months now. 129 days. So what can we do and then we
forget them.
