<div>Letter from Ali:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Ali. I'm a young Palestinian from Gaza, 18 years old. I'm the eldest son in my family and the main person responsible for my three younger siblings.
</div>
<div>There are six of us now living in a torn tent after our home was completely destroyed. From a warm home to a tent that protects from nothing.
</div>
<div>Our house was simple, but it was full of love and warmth— until it was wiped out completely under the bombardment.
</div>
<div>We barely survived with our lives and moved into a tent unfit for living—no electricity, not enough water, no privacy.
</div>
<div>Winter is harsh, summer is fire, and fear never leaves us.
</div>
<div>I am the eldest brother...carrying more than my years. As the oldest, I bear responsibilities far beyond my age. I do everything I can to ease my father's burden, protect my siblings, and support my mother. I go out searching for water, for bread, for anything that might bring them a little comfort
</div>
<div>—while my heart is heavy with pain and fear.
</div>
<div>We were hardworking and loved learning...but the genocide stole our dreams. Despite poverty and blockade, I was always one of the diligent students. I loved to study and dreamed of continuing my education and becoming someone—
</div>
