Everything changed the day Amira was born.
The world outside was collapsing — bombs, dust, screams, and fear. Yet inside a small room, by the dim light of a single candle, a new life began.
While others were running for shelter, I was holding my newborn daughter, trembling, crying, trying to believe that something so pure could still exist in a place like Gaza.
I named her Amira, because I wanted her to feel like a child of life —not a child of war.
A year has passed since that night, but nothing has really changed
Our house is still rubble, our streets still carry the smell of smoke, and the sky still echoes with sounds that make Amira flinch in her sleep.
She has just turned one.
She’s learning to walk, holding my finger with her tiny hand, laughing at the smallest things — as if she doesn’t see the destruction around her.
She doesn’t know the word “loss.”
She never met her father, but when she smiles, I see him there.
Sometimes I watch her sleeping, and I wonder what kind of world she will grow up in — whether she will ever know what peace feels like, what home smells like.
And yet, when she opens her eyes in the morning and says “mama,” everything becomes bearable again.
I want to rebuild our home.
Not just for the walls — but for her future.
For Amira to have a small room, a safe place to dream, a life that belongs to her, not to war.
I’m not asking for much. Only for a chance to give her a beginning filled with warmth instead of fear
My name is Saja. I am a mother, a wife, and just one of many women in Gaza trying to hold on — to hope, to my family, and to a life that no
A Mother’s Message
To everyone reading this — thank you for listening to our story.
Your kindness means more than words.
Every share, every message, every donation — it all helps me rebuild not just a house, but a future for Amira.
From the heart of Gaza, from a mother learning to hope again —
we will live. And I will make sure my daughter grows up in a world that knows love more than war.
📍 At a UN press briefing Albanese said that the official death toll (often cited around ~65,000 Palestinians killed) might be far lower than the “real” number due to under-reporting and limited access for investigators. She suggested people should “start thinking” about a much higher figure — possibly around ~680,000 deaths in Gaza, with a large percentage being children under five — as a hypothetical estimate if counting all uncounted deaths and indirect casualties.

She stressed that such a figure would be hard to prove or disprove without full access to Gaza for outside investigators. Millet News
📉 Important Context about These Estimates
⚠️ This 680,000 figure is not an official confirmed death toll. It’s described as a possible estimate, based on broad assumptions about uncounted deaths from bombardment, lack of medical care, starvation, and other indirect causes. Albanese herself noted that verifying such a high number is extremely difficult. Millet News
Other experts have made lower estimates — for example, some public health researchers (cited by Albanese on social media) suggested the toll could be around 335,000 over a longer period if indirect deaths are counted. Truthout
