My name is Abdullah Bassam Shaqoura, a 16-year-old Palestinian student from Gaza. I was born and raised in the Gaza Strip, where I spent my childhood under extremely difficult conditions, always striving to learn and grow despite the challenges.
We were displaced multiple times due to the war, with our last refuge being in the city of Rafah. It was there that my family and I were bombed, forcing us to flee once again—this time to Cairo in search of safety.
Before the war, I was studying English and working hard towards building a better future through education. Unfortunately, the war brought my learning journey to a halt and imposed a harsh new reality on my life.
Still, I firmly believe in the power of knowledge and words to bring about change, and I continue to hold on to my dreams of a brighter future for myself and for my people.
I am a voice from Gaza—a voice from beneath the rubble that still believes in life.
