Palestinian Culture Minister’s Remark on NTV: “I Want to be Awake When I Die”
Palestinian Minister of Culture Atif Abu Saif recently spoke to NTV, revealing the heartbreaking reality of life for children in Gaza. He shared how children in Gaza write their names on their arms and legs, in fear that their bodies may become unrecognizable in the event of an Israeli attack, and their body parts may need to be identified if their physical integrity is damaged.
Saif, who was in Gaza during the October 7 attacks and has been there for over two months, also discussed his experiences in a recent interview with NTV’s Deniz Kilislioğlu. As a writer, Saif has been keeping Gaza Diaries on Israeli attacks for many years, with his latest article on the topic published in the New York Times.
During the interview, Saif shed light on the striking title he used for his recent article and discussed the difficult realities of life in Gaza. His insights provide a sobering and thought-provoking perspective on the ongoing challenges faced by the people of Gaza.
