A phone can become a cherished companion, documenting joys, sorrows, and the harsh realities of life. In areas of conflict like Gaza, it serves as a lifeline, connecting individuals with loved ones amidst peril. When a phone ceases to function, it represents more than technical failure; it echoes the traumatic losses of friends and family amidst chaos. Shared experiences of phones deteriorating alongside loved ones bring unexpected comfort, highlighting the intertwining of personal technology with human emotion and survival amidst suffering.
In the harshness of life in the world's largest open-air prison, [the phone] becomes more than a device. It's an extension of yourself; your portal to the world.
My phone succumbed to its injuries. I can't believe I'm describing it this way, with the same phrase I use when reporting on thousands of my people killed.
