Everyone knows a family that has lost a child in Zamzam, a camp for hundreds of thousands of displaced people in Sudan’s Darfur region. Hunger and disease have become grim features of daily life, and a child is dying in the camp every two hours, according to the medical charity Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF). “There have been many, I cannot remember them all. The latest died yesterday,” says Laila Ahmed, who lives in the camp with her nine children. Like most of Sudan, Zamzam has had no phone or internet connection for the past two weeks, but the Guardian managed to talk to refugees through a satellite link.They described a desperate situation, with no clean drinking water and little access to medical treatment. Families share meagre food stores. Almost 25% of children are severely malnourished. Dengue fever and malaria are sweeping through the camp. Beyond its perimeters roam militiamen who kidnap or attack women who venture out to collect firewood or grass for their donkeys. Apart from one small distribution in June, no food aid has arrived since fighting erupted across Sudan on 15 April. “I think we are approaching starvation,” says Abdullatif Ali, a father of six. “The people are suffering from malnutrition, disease – many issues.” Zamzam was set up in the mid-2000s in the wake of the genocide in Darfur, carried out by predominately Arab militias called the Janjaweed. Before the current war between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which grew from the Janjaweed, a patchwork of international aid agencies provided services to Zamzam, but they abruptly pulled out when the fighting started. Since then, the camp’s population has swelled with new arrivals fleeing fighting farther south. “This is a vast, overpopulated camp that needs a large amount of support, but it has been completely left on its own,” says Emmanuel Berbain, an MSF doctor, who visited recently. “It’s a complete catastrophe, to be honest.”

The pictures of premature infants at al-Shifa hospital wrapped in foil and blankets after their incubators lost power during the siege. The babies at al-Nasr hospital whose bodies were found decomposing on hospital beds after a forced evacuation. The emaciated figure and wide eyes of Yazan al-Kafarna, a Palestinian child with cerebral palsy who died of hunger and malnutrition in Rafah. And just as haunting, the pictures of life in Gaza before October 7 that capture just how much has been lost: stretches of highway running along the beach at sunset, beautiful buildings lit up at night, couples dancing, libraries, cafés, frescoes, kitchen interiors, people smiling in restaurants, flowers, trees. “The memories brought up on your smartphone return you for a moment to your past life, to its atmosphere of ease and the embrace of friends,” writes Sarah Aziza’s cousin Nabil S. in a letter from Gaza, published in Mizna, describing what it’s like to look at photos from before the bombardment. “It is as if this forgotten life now presses itself upon us against our will — for these pictures are all that remain of our family and loved ones. Only photos, for us to weep and lament over, for we locked the doors tightly when we left our homes. We left with the keys in our hands.” We are not used to this — not to the gruesomeness, the ceaselessness, the direct address. Thirteen-year-old Nadin Abdullatif asks the camera in English, “Does no one care about the two million people here in Gaza? Does no one care about us? I don’t know. What is happening here? What has happened to the world? I’m suffering, and every other child is suffering. So please, notice us!” Speaking with a quivering voice over footage of people fleeing al-Shifa, Yara Eid begs, “Guys, please. Let’s stop this now. Like talk about it, share. I don’t know. Call — anyone. Try to do something. I never imagined this would happen, this is another Nakba.” Motaz Azaiza posts on X and Instagram, “You are all useless. Without shame watching us get killed one by one. Will wait my turn to be killed by Israel. And believe me you are gonna do nothing.” People in the comments say don’t give up, we need you, the world sees you, we are trying to speak up, but it’s true, we are useless, we’re ashamed of ourselves, God forgive us, we’ve failed you. This is what images on social media can do — activate an intense, genuine parasocial attachment, the same kind of attachment we feel toward strangers online who invite us to follow their motherhood journeys, their sobriety journeys, their cancer journeys. Nobody expected to follow someone’s genocide journey, their famine journey. Yet here we are.

‘’SİZİ ALLAH’A EMANET EDİYORUM!’’ SÖZÜNÜN ÖNEMİ!

İBN-İ MELEK (MELEĞİN OĞLU!) ABDULLATİF EFENDİ (K.S) HAZRETLERİ!

Hanefî Mezhebi Fıkıh âlimlerinden. İsmi, Abdüllatîf bin Abdülazîz bin Emînüddîn’dir. Lakabı İzzüddîn’dir. İbn-i Melek veya İbn-i Ferişte künyesiyle meşhûr oldu. İzmir yakınlarında bulunan Tire’dendir. Doğum târihi kesin olarak bilinmemektedir. 801 (m. 1399) senesinde Tire’de vefât etti. Rahmetli Babam Kurra Hafız Mustafa Özdemir Hoca Efendi; Nazilli Kur’an Kursundaki Talebelerine İbn-i Melek (Meleğin Oğlu) (k.s) Hazretlerinin kıssasını sürekli anlatırlardı. İlk defa da; çocukluğumda kendilerinden duymuştum. Daha sonra da; 3 defa Tire’ye gidip Kabr-i Şeriflerini ziyaret ettim, Elhamdülillah. İbn-i Melek (k.s) Hazretlerinin babaları Abdulaziz Efendi, bir Osmanlı Sipahisi, Derviş ve Salih bir zat-ı muhteremdir! Bir gün Sefere (muharebeye) çıkar! Hanımı da; Oğlu Abdullatif’e hamiledir. ‘’Sizi Allah’a (c.c) Emanet ediyorum!’’ deyip, Hamile eşini ve çocuğunu bırakıp, helalleşip sefere çıkar! Seferden döndüğünde bakar ki; Hamile eşi vefat etmiş; Nasıl olsa karnındaki Bebek te vefat etmiştir deyip, ikisini birlikte kabre gömmüşler! Salih bir zat olan Abdulaziz efendi: Allah Allah, ben bunları giderken Rabbime emanet etmiştim, kabri açıp görmem lazım! Diye kalbine ilham gelir! (İbret-i alem olacak ya!) Kabri açar bakar ki: Anne vefat etmiş, kabir de bir kandil, çocuk acıktıkça Annesini emiyor, altı temizleniyor! Bunu da Rabbimizin izniyle, Onun Melekleri vasıtasıyla yapıyor, Elhamdülillah! Sonra çocuğu (oğlunu) kabirden alıyor ve kabri tekrar örtüyor! Sonra bu çocuk (Abdullatif Efendi) büyüyor; Hem Şeriat ve hem de Tarikat (Tasavvuf alanında) Alim ve Evliya oluyor! İbn-i Melek (meleğin oğlu) ismi, Kabirde melekler tarafından yedirilip bakıldığı için kendisine Halk tarafından veriliyor! Bunlar Rabbimizin bizlere bire Mucizesidir! İbret-i Alem olması için! Ashab-ı Kehf kıssası gibi! Rabbimiz hepimizi şefaatlerine nail eylesin, İnşaAllah! Amin, Ya Muin!
