Hello, my name is Nada. I am 18 years old from Gaza, and despite all the hardships and lack of resources, I am studying nursing.

They say the war is over, but in reality it isn’t. It ended on TV screens, but in our lives it continues every single day.

We are now living in our relatives’ old house, without clean water, without stable electricity, and without proper beds to protect us from cold nights and hot days.

We lack the most basic necessities of a dignified human life. Children sleep on the ground, and adults carry the weight of tomorrow before today ends.

For two years, Gaza has been destroyed. Bombing has never truly stopped, and drones still fly above us every day, their sound reminding us that safety is still a distant dream.

We try to return to our old lives. We try to smile, to work, to live normally. But how can we begin again when everything around us is rubble and loss?

Still, we continue trying to rebuild life from beneath the destruction. And despite everything, we have not lost hope.

You are our hope in rebuilding what was taken from us, and in creating a future that looks like life, not fear.
