One of Gaza's few havens of calm has been hit by a new tragedy during a war that has already claimed tens of thousands of lives. At least three individuals were killed and several more, including the parish priest Father Gabriel Romanelli, were injured after an Israeli bomb struck the Holy Family Catholic Church in Gaza on July 17, 2025.

The sort of storm that brings not just wind and rain but also rage, tears, fire, and bloodshed. Tension lingers in the air like smoke after a fire, making it difficult to even define the current environment. One question remains unanswered for those of us who are closely seeing and experiencing this historical moment: how did we get here? Like a match before it ignites, it all began subtly. In June 2025, blogger and educator Albert Omondi Ojwang passed away while being held by the authorities. Because of his online criticism of a top police officer, he had been detained. Authorities gave a hasty and icy explanation, saying he had "fallen and hit his head." The autopsy, however, revealed different. The inside injuries and the bruises told a different tale.
