Title Hope in the Darkness
A Sad Story from the Heart of Gaza I am Muhammad Salah, living in Gaza with my family of nine. Life here is not easy; it is filled with challenges and difficulties. Every day, we wake up with new hope, but this hope quickly fades in the face of a bitter reality. My story begins on a sunny morning when the children were getting ready to go to school. But we didn't have enough food to feed them. I stood in the kitchen, searching the cupboards for crumbs of bread or leftovers, but all I found was a suffocating silence. I felt anxious, thinking about how I would tell them that we couldn't buy food today. As the days passed, I began to feel the heavy burden I was carrying. I saw in my children's eyes an innocence that didn't deserve to be deprived of food and drink. They would innocently ask me, "When will we eat, Dad?" My heart broke because I couldn't promise them anything. I decided to go out into the street, hoping to find any help. I saw some people suffering like us and realized that I was not alone in this pain. Yet, the pain still gripped my heart. I watched other children playing and laughing while I searched for a morsel to eat. One day, a neighbor came to me and offered a bag containing some flour and rice. That moment was like a ray of hope in an impenetrable darkness. I returned home and started preparing a simple meal for my family. When they saw the food, their eyes filled with joy, but I knew that this joy would not last long. In the end, wishes remain in my heart. I pray that God grants us strength and patience in facing these hardships and provides us with the food and drink we need. Despite everything, I believe that hope still exists, and tomorrow may bring us relief.

"A Story of Resilience: Mohamed Arafat Hassanein
I am Mohamed Arafat Hassanein from Gaza. My entire life, I have been very successful in my studies, with my grades never falling below 90. I finished high school with a score of 95. Like anyone who achieves a high score, I applied for a scholarship and, thank God, I was accepted. However, due to the war and the closure of the checkpoint between the north and the south by the occupation, I couldn't travel. I am among those who did not evacuate to the south; I stayed in northern Gaza. The first punishment I faced for my resilience was the loss of my future and my dream of studying abroad. We have become lost in life, unable to see our dreams except in sleep, as reality is very bitter. Yet, despite everything we are going through, our hope in God remains strong. God willing, this genocide will end, and we will achieve every dream we have, with God's guidance first and our efforts second. During this war, I haven't just lost my dream; I lost my home, which held all my memories. I have also lost family members, with over 100 martyrs among us during the war. My brother and I were injured, and our condition was very critical, but God saved us. The war has destroyed our entire lives. It came upon us in a very difficult financial situation. Here in Gaza, we lack the most basic necessities of life. We have witnessed all kinds of suffering and bitterness, from the bitterness of loss to the bitterness of pain. We lived through a suffocating famine that lasted for several months, and we nearly died several times, either being run over by trucks or shot by occupation soldiers in the struggle to obtain a few kilograms of flour.

A Cry for Hope: Eyes Searching for Light

A Cry for Hope: Eyes Searching for Light
Eyes Searching for Light in the Darkness of War My name is Bilal, I live in Gaza. Here, where there is nothing but destruction and pain, we live in uncertainty. Every day brings with it a new fear, and every moment makes us realize that what we considered a basic right has become an unattainable dream. I never imagined that the simplest things, like looking at the face of a loved one or reading words I know by heart, would become a distant luxury. I suffer from severe vision deterioration, and my medical condition requires urgent surgical intervention. But Gaza is not a place where these opportunities are available. Here, there is no medicine, no equipped hospitals, and no hope except in the hearts of the people who see us amidst this rubble. Today, I find myself in a double struggle: with illness and with war. I cannot see the face of my sister who stands by my side every day, nor can I read the last letter my mother left me before she passed away. Whenever I try to focus with my eyes, I am overcome by pain and fog, and I feel as if the entire world is slipping away from me. Every night, I am afraid to close my eyes. I fear that I will never open it again to the light. What if I wake up one day to find that the darkness has become permanent? The war here leaves us with nothing. Basic medicines are unavailable, hospitals are overwhelmed with attempts to save those affected by the bombing, and I am in the midst of all this, waiting. Waiting for a chance to live, a chance to see the face of my niece who is growing day by day, and I cannot even keep her features in my memory. I am writing to you today because I need you. I need your hearts to give me a chance to regain my sight. Every donation from you is not just medical assistance; it is a new life. It is a hope that I cling to at a time when life itself seems like a miracle. Help me regain the light of my eyes, to see the face of a child smiling in the midst of this pain, to live the life that I deserve in the midst of a world that has taken everything from us. Your donation could be the difference between darkness and light in my life. Be my light, please.

My daughters feel very cold and I cannot do anything for them. Because of the war I became unemployed, my family has no income and I cannot provide less than you can imagine for my family due to the huge increase in prices. The money we collect will serve two vital purposes.

Second, it will enable my family to escape the horrors of war in Gaza and provide them with the means to seek safety in a safer environment. The money will be instrumental in rebuilding our lives, whether in Gaza after the war or elsewhere, where peace and stability provide an opportunity for a new beginning. We greatly appreciate that.

Help Rana’s family to get out of gaza
مترجم باللغة العربية بالأسفل Hello, I’m Rana from Gaza, a photographer, wife, and mother. Before the war, I used to capture moments of happiness and success through my camera lens, my husband and I built our dream home together, furnished it, and took care of every detail to make it our lifelong home, and we welcomed our first child, Omar, "the fruit of our love," into it, but everything changed after October 7th. I lost my job, and there was nothing left in Gaza except bombing, death and destruction to capture through my lens and our beloved home, the place we dreamed of spending our entire lives in, has been damaged. During this war, we were forced to evacuate several times, facing the threat of death repeatedly. We endured the cold, hunger, high prices, and scarce resources, and my ten-month-old son, Omar, has spent more than half of his life in the war. After five months of suffering, we have exhausted all solutions to protect our family. There is no safe place here in Gaza and I can’t bear the thought of any harm coming to my family. Please help us survive the war in Gaza by leaving and traveling to another safe place, so that we can start our lives anew from scratch again; As Darwish said, we love life if we find a way to it. Your support and donation will save our life. Any amount can make a difference ❤️ أنا رنا من غزة، مصورة وزوجة وأم.. قبل الحرب اعتدت على توثيق لحظات الفرح والنجاح بعدسة كاميرتي، بنيت أنا وزوجي بيتنا الدافئ سوياً وأثثناه معاً واهتممنا بكل تفاصيله ليكون بيت العمر وأنجبنا فيه طفلنا الأول عمر.. بعد السابع من أكتوبر تغير كل شيء.. خسرت عملي ولم يعد في غزة سوى القصف والموت والدمار لألتقطه بعدسة كاميرتي، تضرر بيتنا "بيت العمر" الذي حلمنا أن نقضي فيه عمرنا كاملاً فيه، أما طفلي عمر فقد أمضى في الحرب أكثر من نصف عمره. خلال الحرب اضطررنا للنزوح عدة مرات.. واجهنا خطر الموت مراتٍ عدّة، واستنفذت كل الحلول لحماية عائلتي فلا مكان آمن هنا في غزة.. ولا يمكنني أن أتحمل أن يصاب أحد أفراد عائلتي بأي أذى. ساعدوني أنا وعائلتي الصغيرة في النجاة من الحرب على غزة ، من خلال الخروج والسفر إلى مكان آخر آمن حتى نبدأ حياتنا معاً من الصفر من جديد؛ فنحن كما يقول درويش نحب الحياة إذا ما استطعنا إليها سبيلاً. مساهمتكم وتبرعكم سينقذ حياة عائلة.. أي مبلغ صغير قد يصنع فارق ❤️.
