An open letter from Dr. Tamer Al-Najjar, a professor and consultant in Environmental Engineering in Gaza. Before October 7th, he was a respected and in-demand expert on hydrologic engineering. He describes what his life is like now.

Nothing will Ever be the same Again

It will never be easy at all to return and continue living normally after this war has shattered everything in our hearts, our trust in the world the countries around us, the books, history, strategic plans, and more!!

How should I go back to work as an environmental engineering expert, dealing with climate change and sustainability goals? While all my international memberships couldn’t protect me from the shelling and killing!

How can I participate in conferences and research journals about resource and water supply management in conflict zones? None of it granted me at least the minimal requirements of water as recommended by the WHO.

And how can I continue designing sustainable buildings for clients in Eastern and Western countries and interact with people as if nothing has happened when the entire world has let us down?

A million ‘hows’ I pose, and I find no logical answers for them in this context!!

A million research papers, books, and volumes have been crafted by the West in major international conferences, summits, and meetings about the concepts of international law, human rights, food and water security, green economics, gender equality, environmental project empowerment, and entrepreneurship. In Gaza, we are a part of it, seeking alignment and keeping up with global progress.

Now, all of it has lost its value; all of it is reduced to zero, devoid of meaning altogether. How can it hold any value when I used to train in international projects on strategic planning, sustainable project management, and gender equality in many subjects and do research on water and food security, among other topics? I now only seek survival. Just survival!

It has become futile, with no purpose left. This is our new reality.

Dr. TAMER M. ALNAJJAR / GAZA / NOV. 4,2023

Strange, how a cat can change my whole perspective on life and on other beings of the earth. We are truly blessed to have animals share earth with us. Nature gives.

Some positive climate news. I didn’t know that some states in the U.S. have banned plastic bags! Let’s see if we can add more.

Copper mining project in Zambia . The bottom of the EV supply chain. According to the World Economic Forum, by 2030, U.S. multinational corporations like Microsoft, Amazon, Tesla and Google will require 17 times more rare earth minerals to power consumers’ smart devices and electric cars for the coming green revolution. https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2021/09/batteries-lithium-ion-energy-storage-circular-economy/

5 January 2024

At Khalifa School in the previous post, journalist Mahmoud Sabbah documents the return of the people of Gaza to the area, with some displaced people using the remains of the school as a shelter. They have carried with them damaged solar panels that were originally on a home or business, but have been repaired. They have been hooked up to batteries, and can now power small devices. The people of Gaza will always rebuild. Always.
