After the from the dust. I kn BY

Today was a very awful day I wish I could forget. I woke up because there was a rumble like an earthquake and then a loud crashing. The sound and shaking were so loud they felt like they could break my bones.

When the bombs fall right on top of you like this, you can’t hear anything.

It’s like all the noise in the world at once, but at the same time like someone is holding a pillow on your head.

Everything shakes, you feel it in your bones and your insides – even in your teeth. It’s like the air is pressing down on you, trying to smash you into the ground. I started screaming for Mummy.

It looked like night outside, even though it was early morning. There was so much dust in the air.

Baba scooped up Noor and Mohamed, Mummy grabbed my hand and we all ran for the basement. The door to our apartment was blown off and just hanging there.

Even in the basement we could still feel the shaking and hear the booms. We were all praying, asking God to have mercy on us.
