瓦蒂娜·哈马德年仅1岁。她出生于2025年10月10日哈马斯与以色列达成停火协议的前夕。在多年求子无果后，这个小女孩的降生对阿里和希亚姆·哈马德夫妇而言宛如“奇迹”。然而，他们从未想过，她的成长会是这样的。与加沙地带超过100万居民一样，这家人住在一顶临时修补的帐篷里，暴露在昆虫、啮齿动物和密集拥挤的环境中，而脚下则是满目疮痍的土地。
Watine Hamad is 1 year old. She was born on the eve of the ceasefire concluded between Hamas and Israel on October 10, 2025. The little girl arrived as a "miracle" after years of waiting for Ali and Hyam Hamad, who had struggled to have children. But this was not how they imagined watching her grow up. Like over 1 million residents of the Gaza Strip, the family lives under a patched-up tent, exposed to insects, rodents and dense, overpopulated conditions in the midst of a devastated land.
“旁边就是个垃圾场，”阿里·哈马德说，“这就是我女儿生活的环境：恶臭、皮肤病和呼吸道感染。这并不是我想要给她的人生。”这位38岁的父亲通过电话说道。由于以色列已禁止外国媒体进入巴勒斯坦领土长达三年，电话是收集加沙地区证词的唯一途径之一。
"Next to a landfill," Ali Hamad said. "That's my daughter's environment: foul odors, skin diseases and respiratory infections. This is not the life I wanted for her," said the 38-year-old over the phone, one of the only ways to gather testimonies from Gaza, as Israel has barred foreign media from entering the Palestinian territory for three years.
当地民众早已精疲力竭。一年前，他们在满目疮痍的街道上见证了停火协议的宣布——一个几乎无法落实的词语。该协议由美国总统唐纳德·特朗普促成，旨在结束以色列对巴勒斯坦飞地的毁灭性军事行动，而这场行动始于2023年10月7日哈马斯的恐怖袭击。作为交换，协议要求这个巴勒斯坦伊斯兰组织释放所有人质、解除武装并完全退出政治舞台。同时，协议还规定要提供“全面”的人道主义援助、启动重建工作，并让以色列军队开始撤出。
The population has been left drained. One year ago, they marked the announcement of a ceasefire, a barely applicable term, in devastated streets. Brokered by United States President Donald Trump, the deal was meant to end Israel's campaign of destruction against the Palestinian enclave following the Hamas terrorist attacks on October 7, 2023. In exchange, it called for the Palestinian Islamist group to release all hostages, to disarm and to completely withdraw from political life. At the same time, "full" humanitarian aid was supposed to be delivered, reconstruction was to begin, and the Israeli army was to start pull out.
一年过去了，以色列军队仍驻扎在加沙。以军的占领范围已覆盖该地区三分之二的土地，迫使超过220万居民挤在仅130平方公里的区域内。哈马德一家原本来自加沙中部的布雷杰难民营，他们将永远无法再看到自己的家园。这座房屋位于“黄线”以东，即被以色列占领的一侧，如今只剩下一堆废墟，与该飞地这一区域几乎所有建筑一样，都被以色列军队有计划地夷为平地。
One year later, Israel troops remain in Gaza. The army's occupation extends to two-thirds of the territory, forcing more than 2.2 million residents into just 130 square kilometers. The Hamad family, originally from the Bureij camp in central Gaza, will never see their home again. Located east of the "yellow line," on the side occupied by the Israelis, it is now just a pile of rubble, like nearly all buildings in this part of the enclave, which were methodically flattened by the Israeli army.
这片无人区已被变成缓冲区，上面遍布军事前哨，还驻扎着极不得人心的巴勒斯坦民兵组织——这些民兵由以色列训练和武装，用于对哈马斯发动袭击。
Turned into a buffer zone, the no man's land is dotted with military outposts and hosts highly unpopular Palestinian militias, trained and armed by Israel to conduct attacks against Hamas.
