PHOTOS | A Tribute to the Palestinian Heroes on Wheels

Jan 16, 2012

I know a lot of you are not interested in seeing pictures of people without legs, and you are running through life so fast you’re not aware of us in wheels.

Yet, 15% of the world population is disabled, and unfortunately in Palestine, due to attacks, wars, assaults on Gaza many are wheelchair bound. Which does not stop them in having a life as normal as possible.

Become a father like Rani Bornat the hero of Bil’in omni present at every demo there, who got triplets! Or become a photographer like Moamen Qreiqea who refuses to stop “shooting”!

Hence, even the most famous disabled became a Sheikh!  We don’t choose our fate and sometimes it is hidden in a tiny accident for Sheikh Ahmad Yassin became quadriplegic during sports at young age. His life, ended with an Israeli pinpointed drone attack killing him in his wheelchair.

Take a moment and remember: Becoming wheelchair dependent happens quite easily actually. Forever, or sometimes, if lucky,  only for a while when one breaks a leg. But chances one grows old and ill is a plausible chance for all. But we are still people like everyone else.

Despite all, the Palestinian heroes on wheels go on.

Through the checkpoints. To the protests. Defy the threats, dangers and maltreatment of the Israeli occupation. Many lack supplies or decent aid yet go on. Even continue to work in circumstances you would not even imagine or your government provides you with a allowance so you won’t have to work. Yet in Palestine many need to. By washing cars, women making crafts. Become (photo)journalists and more. They get married, get kids, do sports like everyone else and even shine at the Paralympics.

Bil’in’s Rani and Hanadi Burnat. If you ever visit Bil’in of a friday, you’ll be most likely to see him roll there at the weekly demo!

Absolute hero of Bil’in! Rani Burnat has been wheelchair-bound since being shot in the neck by a sniper in 2000. The shooting occurred during a demonstration in Ramallah on the second day of the second intifada. The injury has left him paralyzed from the chest down, with a head wound from which he is still recovering. Despite the difficulties, Rani — now 30 years old — has since started a family and is the proud father of triplets.

Aug 11, 2010 Rani Burnat a young man who is paralyzed after being shot at a demonstration some years ago and now attends the weekly demonstrations in a wheelchair, wearing a gas mask and sometimes filming the action. We met members of the families Abdullah Abu Rahmah and Adeeb Abu Rahmah, who are both in prison for their nonviolent resistance.

Jan ’12 Gaza Disabled women embroidering Niveen el Saleh

Ibrahim has been injured four times by Israeli attacks since the age of 12. But his life changed forever in 2008 when Israel attacked Gaza, 1400 people were slaughtered in 22 days, many more were left severely wounded and injured. It was during this time that Ibrahim was struck by an israeli artillary shell. He lost both his legs and one of his eyes. Today Ibrahim is forced to try his best to make ends meet for himself and his family by washing cars in Gaza. Ibrahim at work in Gaza Ibrahim’s day begins early, at 7AM he gathers his supplies, ties his bucket to his old ragged wheelchair, then he kisses his mother’s hand and says “goodbye” as he begins his journey around the streets of Gaza looking for cars to wash. He maneuvers deftly with his rag and bucket and tries his best to reach every part of the car. All this for $1.50 or $3 if the car owner decides to be generous.

June 2012 – Fifty handicapped war victims exchanged wedding vows in a mass wedding ceremony. They were highly injured and became physically disabled during Israel’s military offensive on Gaza in late 2008. About 1400 Palestinians inluding hundreds of children lost their lives during the “Operation Cast Lead” by the Israeli military. This wedding was organized by the charities and aid convoys including the al-wafa Aid Convoy from Italy, which arrived recently via Rafah crossing to give a new ray of hope towards life for these handicapped war victims.

Fifteen per cent of the world’s population live with some form of disability. Yet despite this, around the world people with disabilities experience marginalisation and discrimination in their access to essential services. In this podcast to mark International Day of Persons with Disabilities on 3 December, Nader Abu Amsher, director of Christian Aid partner the YMCA rehabilitation programme in the occupied Palestinian territory, talks about a partnership with the Lebanese Physically Handicapped Union, which is helping to restore hope to the lives of people living with disabilities in the occupied Palestinian territory and Lebanon.

	Gaza Health Care in Crisis – January 2012 – Photography

Articles 55 and 56 of the Fourth Geneva Convention clearly establish that Israel, as the occupying power, not only has a duty to ensure medical supplies reach hospitals in the OPT, but to ensure and maintain the services of the hospitals too. As High Contracting Parties to the Geneva Conventions, other states not only have a moral duty but also a legal obligation to ensure Israel abides by its commitments to the protected population of the OPT.

UN Convention of the Rights of the Child, As a States Party to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, Israel is obliged under Article 24 of the treaty to recognise the right of every child under its effective jurisdiction “to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health and to facilities for the treatment of illness and rehabilitation of health. States Parties shall strive to ensure that no child is deprived of his or her right of access to such health care services”.

note occpal | June 3, 2012 | At this moment 204 types of medication and 218 types of medical consumables are depleted completely. 200 others are on their way to depletion. Including zero stock of Thalassamia and Cancer medications are not available.

The fuel crisis prevents normal operation of nurseries, ICU & heart units and the emergency generators will encounter problems to face normal surgery schedules. Due to blackouts of power, also sewerage, water pumps and all operating on power shuts down which poses extra health risks which is unacceptable.

The international community though, is not pressuring Israel though about it’s killing by proxy policies which causes 1.7 million people in Gaza now to be effectively in a state of emergency and severe deprivation.

How many more dead corpses of Palestinians and their children does the international community need to see in order to act?
How many more cruelties and violations of Human Rights, Regulations and International Law will be needed?
How long so the world intervenes in this ongoing warcrime and it will be stopped once and for all?

For the sake of children and ill people in Palestine, share this post as wide as you can and keep sharing it. Health is no choice for many, right to medical care is a Human Right. Infringement of such is a passive form of aggression which policies Israel deliberately deploys with the intention to ethnic cleanse.
