Every day is a struggle of unimaginable proportions. My name is Amal Abu Hamad, and I am a mother from Gaza. Before the war, I held my six children close. Now, only five remain by my side, while my sixth has left this world as a martyr. The pain is relentless, and while my arms ache to hold them all, I cling tightly to the hope for the future of the five still with me. One of my precious children bears the scars of this conflict, an injury that serves as a constant reminder of the battle we face. At the same time, my heart carries an unfathomable weight. The whereabouts of my husband remain a mystery, and I oscillate daily between hope and despair, longing to know if he will ever return. I stand here as both mother and father, desperately trying to provide, to protect, and to persevere against the tides of war and uncertainty that threaten to engulf us.
Displacement has become a way of life. The tents we live in can hardly be called home, and each night we lay our heads on cold, hard ground, looking up at the vast, indifferent sky. Hunger has become a constant companion, not just an inconvenience, but a relentless, soul-crushing hunger that refuses to leave. It is more than a struggle; it is a battle for survival, one that I face with the resilience of a mother determined to save her children.
