<div><strong>Our Story:</strong> I am Anas, a recent high school graduate with dreams of pursuing a degree in e-business management and building a career. However, due to my family's financial hardships, I enrolled at Khan Younis Training College (KYTC), affiliated with UNRWA. Sadly, the war has turned the college, once a beacon of hope and education, into a shelter for displaced families, stripping it of its educational purpose.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>I completed high school with a 93% average</strong>, filled with excitement about continuing my education and securing a job to support my family. But like so many others, the war has shattered those dreams.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>My Brother’s Dream:</strong> My younger brother, <strong>Ahmad</strong>, is 14 years old and in the third grade of preparatory school. We’ve always called him <strong>"Doctor of the Future"</strong> because of his intelligence and his natural talent in mathematics. Unfortunately, this is the second year he has been deprived of schooling due to the conflict.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Our Life in Displacement:</strong> The war forced our family to flee to Rafah, where<strong> we lived in a tent for several months</strong>. Each day, my brother and I would wake up to fetch water, gather wood, and light a fire to prepare food. Survival became our daily task, but we never gave up hope. The conflict affected us deeply, but it did not extinguish our dreams of education and a better future.

</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
