A Call from the Heart of Gaza: Everything Has Been Destroyed, and We Need Survival
I am a 50-year-old farmer from Gaza. Throughout my life, the land has been my refuge, and work has been my way of making a living. I would wake up every morning to the sound of the earth, touch it with my hand, and plant what would ensure our survival. But today, the land I love means nothing, because the war has destroyed everything.
My home has been reduced to rubble, and my family is scattered amidst the rubble and destruction. I can no longer tell my son, "This is our home," or reassure my wife that tomorrow will be better. We have lost everything, and our dream of peace has become a mirage.
Now, we are on the streets, homeless, without food, without hope. A life that was once filled with work and hope has turned into a struggle for mere survival.
We need you most. With each passing day, we feel despair creeping into our hearts. We ask for nothing but survival, for a chance at life after so much pain. My little boy sleeps hungry on the cold floor, and my heart is breaking. What should I say to him? How do I explain that life has become endless pain?
Today, we need everything, and any help could be the only light in our dark tunnel.
