Awad (10), Fatima (5), Muhammed (4), Yassin (almost 2), and Abdulhadi (born July, 2025) lived a stable and happy life before the war. They had a young sister, Zahra, born in 2018, who brought great joy to their home. Everything changed in December 2023. The family’s house was bombed, and Zahra was killed when the building collapsed. Her younger brother, Muhammed, suffered severe burns to his face. To this day, the family has been unable to recover Zahra’s body from beneath the rubble. Their mom, Hanaz, endured immense hardship during her pregnancies with Yassin and Abdulhadi, as the family faced ongoing displacement and severe food shortages. When Abdulhadi was born in northern Gaza, the siege on Gaza City was at its peak, forcing the family to flee on foot to the south in search of safety. The winter of 2025–2026 brought further suffering. Heavy rains caused their tent to collapse, leaving them with no choice but to take shelter in a damaged garage. Today, Awad, Fatima, Muhammed, Yassin, and Abdulhadi long for what every child deserves: a safe place to sleep and play, full bellies, and to learn and grow.
