Sometimes, time seems to move in a vicious cycle, repeating itself in a painfully astonishing manner, as if mocking humanity's ability to learn from its mistakes. Two images are separated by 79 years, yet they appear as though no time has passed, as if the gap between them is merely a few fleeting moments.
The first image: A Palestinian elder holding the keys to his home, from which he was forcibly displaced after the Nakba of 1948. An image filled with pain, with tears that dried on faces, and hearts that collapsed under the weight of loss. Yet, hope for return still filled those hearts.

The second image: A recent photo that tells the same story, but this time, the protagonist is my young sister, Maryam, holding the keys to our home from which we were displaced and demolished after the Nakba of 2023.
There is no difference between the two stories, except that this time, the story is even harsher and more painful.
Please help Maryam.. help us and donate 🙏
It is so heartbreaking to see these images - to see the similarities. The keys to houses that cannot be entered any longer.
It is also heartbreaking to see Maryam so young. To see the children of Gaza grow up like this on our computer or mobile screens is something I find quite difficult to witness.
And it reminds me every time to keep the people in Gaza always in our minds, to do the best we can to give these children the lives they deserve. To keep witnessing and showing them that they matter to us.
Please keep supporting them. I promise that every single cent that is received will go to Darine and Maryam and the rest of the family. For as long as is needed.

A UN report has found that Israel has continued to commit genocide by deliberately targeting Palestinian children in Gaza! And that is even after the so-called ceasefire agreement on October 2025! It is heartbreaking to think about Israel targeting little children like Maryam, who should be enjoying a carefree childhood! Please help Maryam, Darine and their family!
