DOA

Saya terlambat membuka e-mel yang saya terima dari seorang sahabat maya saya dari Rafah. Sebenarnya sudah lama kami tidak berutus e-mel kerana pada bulan Februari lepas, dia memeritahu saya dia agak sibuk. Saya faham tugasnya sebagai wartawan, lebih-lebih lagi di tanah airnya yang penuh dengan pergolakan dan pembunuhan serta kezaliman siang dan malam. Maka, saya hanya tinggalkan doa yang tidak henti semoga Allah selamatkan Mohammed.

Saya kecewa kerana saya terlambat membuka e-melnya. Setelah 6 hari berlalu, barulah saya membaca e-mel beliau yang amat melukakan hati saya. Kemanusiaan saya membuak-buak. Namun, saya tetaplah manusia yang lemah. Tidak ada apa yang dapat saya lakukan selain daripada merasa sakit. Aduhai, lemahnya saya. Hanya doa yang saya ada, sebagai senjata bagi orang-orang yang paling lemah. Saya menyeru anda, sesiapa saja yang tergolong dalam golongan yang lemah seperti saya, marilah kita berdoa. Jangan berhenti berdoa untuk saudara-saudara kita di seluruh dunia, yang dizalimi.

Di sini, saya kongsikan dengan anda, e-mel yang saya terima dari Mohammed yang pernah memenangi Best Youth Voice dalam First National Ethnic Media Awards dari New America Media.

Dear Teh,
I’m scared, i was almost killed or at least bleeding
till death. three militants were closing all roads and
they sudden, they said to me stop during the curfew, i
stop and then the masked-men open fire under my feet
hitting the ground under my feet. i thought I’m
killed, and i could not explain or scream as the
shooting was louder than my scream, so I said, :” No,
don’t do that, stop stop, please” oh, i was in tears,
this is the first time I’m begging someone not to kill
me, and then the other guy who’s also militant was
standing in my side and said, we don’t want to kill
him, lets shoot him in his legs and leave him bleed. I
said, what? why? and then he said, your ID, I show it
with the press card and then they let me go. I was
scared that they would shoot at me once I turn my
back, but alhamdllah this didn’t happen, I was scared,
scared, scared to death. this was not pleasant
experience, and they were doing this, as I got stuck
and could not find transport back home, so I went
walking in the streets. I’m scared to death. those are
just evil and terrible people. I don’t wish to be in
that position again. i can’t stand in my feet
anymore, I feel pain and scared. those are working for
preventive security, which is working closely with
Israelis. I was wearing my bullet proof vest, but this
didn’t protect me enough. today, more than 10 were
killed and tens were injured, many by Israelis, but
still some by Palestinian clashes between Hamas and
Fateh. they don’t want this to be reported. I didn’t
tell about this to my mother, she will be scared
again!
sad greetings!
Mohammed
