This footage was filmed and produced 25 November 2023.

This footage illustrates the cat of the family of Haitham Ibrahim Eid. Family lived in Bureij in the middle of the Gaza Strip, where the children were interested in raising one of the cats. After the Israeli warplanes bombed the house and destroyed the entire area, most of the Eid family members were martyred. The cat survived the Israeli bombing and remained in the place for several days despite the massive destruction.

SOUNDBITE:

1:40-1:45
They left no human beings, no animals. They didn't leave anything.

2:28-2:50
There was a man whose name was Haitham Ibrahim Eid. He had three sons: Khaled, Mahmoud and Ismail. And he had two daughters: Marya and Maryam. And his wife.

2:50-3:01
They were at home in peace, and this cat was living with them, and they were feeding it. It was so beloved.

3:02-3:20
After the strike, the cat stayed for three days walking around the house and it was screaming just like a little baby waiting for its family to come back.

3:21-3:38
So I took it. The children of this family were at school, they were little, and they are gone.

3:38-3:50
After a while, I took the cat, it was so tired, you can't hear its voice. I swear, you can feel that it's just like a human.

 3:51-4:08
Even though it's an animal, it can feel them, but the world can't feel anything. It has more feelings than American and Israeli presidents and more than Arab president.

4:12-4:42
This cat can feel, but those don't have feelings. The family was taking care of this cat, but now you can see that after the family has gone, it's so dirty, it's so tired, and it can't move.
