From the shore of Gaza, I am writing these words while watching the sunset with my children.
There is something heartbreaking about watching such a beautiful sunset while wondering what tomorrow will bring.
For many families around the world, home is a place of safety. For us, home has become a memory. The war has taken away so much—our security, our stability, and the simple routines that once made life feel normal.
Every morning, we wake up facing uncertainty. Buildings have collapsed, schools have been disrupted, healthcare is limited, and even basic necessities like food, clean water, and shelter have become daily challenges.
In this video, you will see small moments from our lives. You will see a father trying to bring smiles to his children's faces amidst hardship. You will see children who still dream, laugh, and hope, even under circumstances no child should have to endure.
My children, Israa and Suhaib, deserve what every child deserves: the chance to learn, play, and sleep safely, and to look to the future with hope, not fear.
We are not headlines, and we are not just numbers. We are a real family who struggle every day to survive and maintain our dignity.
Many people have already turned away from Gaza. I hope you won't.
Please help us share our story. Be a voice for families whose voices are rarely heard.
If our story touches your heart, please consider supporting us. Your donation helps provide food, clean water, shelter, and other basic necessities that allow my family to keep going.
No donation is too small. Every act of kindness matters.❤️
