Story of my friend Sereen and her husband Hatem- in Gaza who lost everything after a rocket fell on their home- amidst flames and escaping bullets, while carrying their children Ahmed and Sandy in their arms.

[u/Repulsive-Bunch-4126]

Sereen shared her story with me about a terrifying event that happened. She, Hatem, and their two young children were targeted and shot at by Quadcopters. As they tried to escape, the plane kept chasing them while they carried the children and hid wherever they could. She described their survival as nothing short of a miracle, something she could never forget.

When they evacuated their home, they walked through fires that as she describes to me-felt like the horrors of the Day of Judgment. Severed electrical wires hung dangerously in the streets, and they had to walk over rubble and stones. On their way to the south, the road was filled with corpses. They had to walk carefully, avoiding looking down, because stopping could mean being killed.

Sereen said she doesn’t like to remember this. On the way south, the ground was full of dead bodies. They stepped over the belongings of the dead, like money and clothes. She also saw food, toys, and dolls of children who were killed. They had to keep walking and not look down, or they would be killed too.

Assalamalaikum. They have started an account for buying basics like food, winter clothes, cleaning supplies, and medicines (the children have a painful reoccurring infection as per the last picture due to contamination and lack of cleaning materials)- Basic survival has become extremely difficult.

NYT levels of passive voice here.

I wrote in the exact words she told me. They use an Arabic to English translator many times.

To use a non passive verb you have to know what the intent is.
