For three years, this has been our reality in Gaza. Every day, people and children leave their shelters searching for food, never knowing if they will make it back home. Too many return as names on a list instead of carrying bread for their families.

My children are living through the same nightmare. They deserve safety, food, and a chance to grow up like every other child, not another day of fear and hunger.

Three years of war have become my children’s entire childhood. They have lived through every summer and every winter in a fragile tent, without electricity, and never knowing if there will be enough food for the day.

Our biggest challenge is providing even one meal a day for our children. There is no greater pain for a parent than watching their children go hungry and being unable to provide the most basic necessities of life.

I don’t want anything more than what every parent dreams of for their children. I just want my children to live safely like every other child in the world. I want them to have their most basic rights: a warm meal when they are hungry, a peaceful night without fear, and the freedom to grow up with hope instead of war.
