My name isFuad , I am 17 years old and I’m from the Gaza Strip. I lived a normal life filled with hope and ambitions, but overnight everything changed. The occupation didn’t just destroy our home it destroyed our entire neighborhood. We have been displaced for a year and a half, and I lost more than a shelter; it felt like my spirit was shattered before anything else.

We’ve been forced to move many times nine times so far between places that offer neither safety nor stability. Each tent felt less secure than the one before, and whenever we thought we had found a safe place, the shells returned to target us again. My dreams and ambitions vanished, and I felt like my youth was swept away in those moments.

This is my story: one of loss, fear, and continuous displacement and I hope these words reach the world so people understand what we are living through.
