Important reminder: just because there has been a ceasefire absolutely does not mean you can stop sharing, stop supporting, and stop listening to the stories of the people of Gaza.
When the dust settles, the people of Gaza are all left in ruin. Those who even have a home to come back to are a minority, and the rest need to find the will and the means to rebuild and move on with their lives. And that cannot come out of nothing.
(@drdarine home before and after devastation)
Gaza today is a city of ruins. Our home is gone, just a pile of rubble. And it’s not only our house. The entire neighborhood of "Shujaiyya" has turned into a graveyard of stones. No streets, no walls, no Sewage system, nothing left that carries the scent of life.
Now, we live in a small tent. Even the ground beneath it isn’t ours we rent it. Every day, we try to make this piece of fabric feel like a home, and I hold onto patience as if it were a roof above my head. They broke our already broken hearts. They left us with a pain words can’t describe.
This time, we didn’t wait eagerly to return to Gaza as I did before carrying what was left of hope to rebuild what was lost. Because deep down, I know… there’s no home or even peace of it to go back to like the first time. No clean water, no sanitation, no roads, no schools, no hospitals. Everything is gone.
Put yourself in their shoes. Think of everything you have ever owned, your entire life, from clothes, valuables, mementos, useless trinkets, or necessities. Imagine if all of it was gone. Imagine if you had nothing to come back to. This is what Darine and her family are going through right now.
Through all this, they stay strong and still have hope to rebuild their home and take back what they lost. They will not let this attempted genocide take away their spirit and hope for the future, and hope for Gaza to be as beautiful again as it was before this heartless "war"
If you are able to support at all, please do, and share this widely!
The war has not ended. This is only the beginning, the time to rebuild and rise from the ruins.
We thank you, @Nabulsi, for your powerful words, and we call on everyone to lend a hand and offer help.
As it was said somewhere, Winter is coming.
