GAZA, (PIC)
The infants Aisel and Aiser, what crime did they commit to be killed? With this question that carries all the meanings of oppression and pain, it narrates another story of the Palestinian suffering in Gaza. The protagonists this time are two birds of paradise and their mother, whose joy with them and their father did not exceed four days, before the treacherous Israeli bombardment assassinated them. The family departed, and the father, Muhammad Abu Al-Qumsan, remains alone, a witness to the ongoing stages of the extermination, according to what the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza mentioned.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health states: The twin Aisel and Aiser Abu Al-Qumsan were four days old, and they were born during the days of the war that did not spare them from realizing why and for what reason their innocence was stolen?!
The statement continues: With the morning hours, the details of the Abu Al-Qumsan family changed from the parents’ joy at the twins, as the father was completing the procedures for issuing birth certificates, to those certificates becoming the final point in the lives of Aisel, Aiser, and their mother, who embraced her children in front of the shelling of guns and planes, but it is a point in the series of killing children and desecrating their blood within what the occupation calls its bank of targets in full view and hearing of the world. The number of child martyrs since the beginning of the aggression on Gaza has reached 115.
The bereaved father recounts the chapters of pain
Abu al-Qumsan, who was full of joy as he obtained the birth certificates of his twin children Aisel and Aiser, whom he had left with their mother and grandmother in an apartment they had fled to from northern Gaza to Deir al-Balah. He hurried joyfully to receive their birth certificates on August 10.
While Muhammad was receiving the birth certificates of his twins, his phone rang to inform him that his apartment had been bombed and that his wife and children were now in Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital.
Muhammad could not contain himself and was devastated by the death of his newborns whom he and his pharmacist wife Jumana Arafa had eagerly awaited. Jumana had posted a joyful announcement on her Facebook account on the day of their birth, sharing the news of the arrival of her twin daughter and son (Aisel and Aiser) with all her acquaintances, who showered her with congratulations and expressions of joy at their arrival, hoping it would be a happy occasion despite all the tragedies around them.
But the joy and congratulations turned into condolences on the same post, and instead of congratulations, the commenters expressed their shock at the news, offering their condolences over her and her children’s death due to an Israeli bombing of their home in Deir al-Balah.
Muhammad and his martyred wife Jumana fled from the city of Gaza and managed to find a residential apartment in Deir Al-Balah, so that his pregnant wife could rest there with the twins, but he did not know that this apartment would be a target for the occupation’s missiles, and that his joy in his twins would turn into condolences and pain just 3 days later.
On her Facebook page, one of the Jumana’s friends wrote: “Dr. Jumana was one of the sweetest and most refined girls in Gaza, she spoke 3 languages, was a pharmacist, was very interested in cosmetics, had a cheerful and soft-spoken voice, and her smile was amazing. I have never asked her for anything that she did not respond to.”
She added, “The cruelest thing Jumana carried was a device in her purse to measure her sugar! She was not a resistance fighter, nor did she carry a weapon, nor did she want to die!”
For its part, the Palestinian Ministry of Health said that with the martyrdom of the two infant twins Aisel and Aiser, Abu al-Qumsan, the total number of infants who were born and martyred in the genocide war has reached 115 children, who lived brief moments of life before their souls were extinguished under the weight of bombardment and aggression.
