The Dhaka Times Desk Israel's attack has started since October 7. Israel continues to kill indiscriminately. This time 21 members of the same family were killed in the Israeli attack in Gaza.
Ahmed woke up at 4 am. Usually he was in a deep sleep at this time, but this time he felt that something was not right.
Ahmed, who lives in London, has been carefully checking his family's WhatsApp group since the start of the war.
Since Israel cut off electricity to Gaza, it has been difficult to contact her father and siblings. But two days ago a message came from his sister Wallah.
Wallah wrote in the group that his house was damaged by the bomb. The windows and doors inside the house were all broken. But the important thing is that Allah saved us. We are all fine.
Ahmed wrote back, the house can be fixed later, the important thing is that you are safe. Wallah and his four children moved to their father's house in Deir al-Balah in the middle of Gaza.
When Ahmed woke up that night, his family's WhatsApp group was also completely silent. He also found several other people's messages, which were deleted after being sent.
He called a friend in Gaza to find out what was going on. He then learns that all his family members are dead.
Ahmed and his Gaza flatmates have been living in hellish conditions since the start of the war. Their phones have essentially become a repository of news of destruction and death.
Every day they are told that some neighbor, friend or someone they went to school with has died. But he never thought that this war would come directly to his family. The reason is that their home is in the middle of Deir al-Balah in an area that has never been targeted before.
A total of 21 people, including Ahmed's father, three sisters, two brothers and their 15 children, died when their home was destroyed in an Israeli airstrike.

How to prevent dengue
Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral fever. This fever is different from other viral or bacterial fevers. However, this fever is not contagious in any way. This viral fever can occur alone or in combination with other viruses (chikungunya, yellow fever, Burma forest, flu, respiratory syncytial) and bacteria (pneumococcus).
Dengue fever is divided into two categories depending on the severity of symptoms and fever.
1. Common dengue fever
2. Dengue fever with bleeding.
In the case of common dengue fever, the following symptoms are mainly seen-
1. Sudden high fever lasting 2 to 7 days.
2. Severe headache.
3. Pain behind the eyes.
4. Along with the fever, red rash appears all over the body.
5. Severe pain in whole body as well as back pain.
6. Nausea or vomiting.
7. A rash or red bumps on the skin.
In case of dengue fever with bleeding:
1. Bleeding from nose, mouth or vomiting with high fever within 2 to 48 hours.
2. Fluid accumulation in chest or abdomen along with fever.
If any of these symptoms appear, seek medical attention immediately.
On the other hand
Wait at home for the first 3 days of fever. On the other hand, sponge the whole body with water every now and then. This will reduce the level of fever. Drink enough water and rest. After that, if the fever does not decrease or if it continues to increase after some time, consult a doctor immediately.
Things to do to prevent Dengue:
1. Try to keep the surroundings of the house as clean as possible.
2. If there are flower tubs or broken plastic bottles, can shells, tires or polythene inside the house, clean them quickly and drain the accumulated water from the flower tubs.
3. Spray or fog at least 3 times a week to kill mosquitoes.
4. You can keep mosquito repellent cream with you while going out.
5. After evening, younger and older members of the household should use mosquito nets.
6. Clean up any accumulated rain water, as this is the time when Aedes mosquitoes lay their eggs.
7. On the other hand, you can use mats along with mosquito nets to avoid mosquito infestation.
8. Since Aedes mosquitoes bite during the day, it is important to avoid sleeping with mosquito nets while sleeping during the day. Source: https://dmpnews.org
