Vi Khi Nao’s “When You Let Down Your Hair Christine”

“We never know what each day may hold.

Yesterday I slept at 11pm. My wife woke me up at 1am saying there was a very strange sound, and lots of shelling.

I was surprised to find out that al-Zibdiya, the area I live in, was hit with white phosphorous.

We went outside to look at the area, and we found that it was lit despite it being nighttime. There were flames everywhere . . . . 

. . . . [Khaled] was dubbed the "child rescuer" because of the number of children he pulled out from the rubble. And most of the ones he was able to pull out would be alive, even after they'd been under huge piles of rubble for very long periods of time.”
