After three years of war and genocide, during which I lost almost everything… my home, my job, my stability, and everything I had built through years of hard work. But they could not take my dream away from me. I am a civil engineer from Gaza. My workplace was destroyed, my life changed completely, and I found myself facing a reality I never chose. But I refuse to let the war be the end, and I refuse to spend the rest of my life held captive by what it destroyed. Today, I am starting over, not because the road has become easier, but because giving up is not an option. This semester, I began studying for a master’s degree in Geomatics Engineering, taking my first steps toward reclaiming my future and fulfilling my dream of becoming a successful engineer who contributes his knowledge and experience to rebuilding my homeland and reconstructing what the war has destroyed. I may have lost years of my life, countless opportunities, and the security I had every right to enjoy, but I still have the determination to start from scratch, even if I have to carve my way through the rubble. We, the people of Gaza, may have our homes destroyed, our jobs taken away, and our dreams scattered by war, but it will never decide on our behalf how our story ends. This is not merely the beginning of my master’s studies; it is the beginning of a new battle, a battle of knowledge, determination, and rebuilding the future. I will keep moving forward, for myself, for my children, and for a homeland that deserves to rise again. πŸ‡΅πŸ‡Έβ€οΈ A photo from my bachelor’s degree graduation celebrations in Civil Engineering.❀️

Good morning from Gaza... Every morning, we open our eyes to an exhausting reality, but we hold on to hope and believe that beyond this long night, a dawn will come, bringing us days filled with more mercy and peace. All we wish for is a morning when we no longer fear for those we love, and no longer struggle for the most basic necessities of life. βœŒοΈπŸ‡΅πŸ‡Έ

Viral warts have appeared on my wife's fingers, and the doctor told us that they are contagious and need to be treated as soon as possible to prevent them from spreading further. We urgently need $200 to cover the cost of treatment. We are living in harsh conditions in Gaza, and I struggle every day to provide food and basic necessities for my children. Today, I find myself facing another burden that I cannot bear alone. My friends, please don't scroll past my post. Your contribution, even if it's $5 or $10, could make a big difference and bring us closer to getting my wife the treatment she needs. If you cannot donate, sharing this post could help it reach someone who can support us. We need you to stand by our side. Every bit of help, no matter how small, means so much to us. πŸ’”πŸ™ πŸ”— chuffed.org/project/201067

Today, my 7-year-old son Mohammad came home from school with heartbreaking news: his friend’s mother had been killed. His little friend couldn’t stop crying. Then Mohammad looked at me with his innocent eyes and asked, β€œDad, when someone dies, do they never come back to life again?” I stood there, unable to find the words. How do you explain death to a child who should be worrying about homework, playing with his friends, and enjoying his childhood? How do you tell him that some goodbyes are forever, and that his little friend will have to grow up carrying the pain of losing his mother? In Gaza, children are being forced to confront questions that no child should ever have to ask. They are learning about death before they have had the chance to understand life. They are witnessing grief, losing loved ones, and carrying fears far beyond their years. Please, don’t scroll past their pain as if it were just another headline. Behind every story is a child whose heart is breaking, a family torn apart, and a childhood that may never be the same again. Children in Gaza deserve to ask about their dreams, not death. They deserve to grow up with their mothers, not learn to live without them. πŸ’”

My advice to you: cherish the blessings you have and appreciate the simplest things in life. Here in Gaza, we are missing things many of you take for granted. Even clean drinking water has become a dream we struggle every day to achieve. πŸ’” Please never underestimate the value of the little things. πŸ™

Good morning from Gaza ... Every morning, we wake up carrying simple wishes in our hearts: to find food for our children, medicine for our sick, and a little safety to reassure our weary hearts. We don’t need miracles; we just want to live in peace. πŸ™

My children ask me every day: β€œDad, how long will we have to keep living in a tent?” And I remain unable to answer… Tell us, how long will this pain continue, and when will the day come when our children can find safety in a home worthy of their childhood?πŸ’”

Please, don’t let my dream end just $500 away.πŸ’” After three years of war, losing my home and stability, and enduring displacement, I’m still fighting to earn my master’s degree in Geomatics Engineering.
