Hello world, 

My name is Marah I am 18 years old I got an average of 84 in the scientific stream in high school, I registered at Al-Azhar University, majoring in pharmacy. One of my simplest dreams was to see myself graduating in the specialty I chose since my childhood, but I found myself losing my city, my home, my books, and my future, and I was left with nothing. Because my family and I were displaced to the south of the Gaza Strip, away from our land and our relatives, to tents in Deir al-Balah. We were a beautiful family consisting of a father, mother, three brothers and five sisters.
 
The war came and we lost many things. We lost the most precious things we had as a result of the occupation bombing For our home, for the home in which we grew up and spent our childhood and youth and built childhood dreams in it. At the moment the occupation bombed our home, our dreams, our memories, and the things we keep were gone, leaving our memories, our certificates, and our school and university books. 

The war began on the 7th of October. I was going to my university, and what happened on the 7th of October was that we went to my grandmother’s house and we did not take anything from our house from that moment on. We had not seen our house yet until it was bombed. It was one of the most difficult feelings to be away from your home, your farm, and the trees that you had taken care of for a long time. Long and the animals I raised were gone in the blink of an eye.

Then they demolished my grandmother's house while we were there. We came out with minor and serious injuries. Then the Israeli army announced that the north of the Gaza Strip would go to its south, so we moved to the south to tents in Deir al-Balah. It was one of the worst days that we had, as it rained on us while we were in the heart of the tent, and we drowned, and there was no food or money left with us. We were dying of hunger and dying from the severity of the cold, as there was nothing left with us. What sheltered us from the severe cold, the tents were difficult to live in and did not have the necessities of life. We had approximately 18 people living in one tent, suffering from the severity of the cold and the rain, as the tent was filled with rainwater. Then the summer season came, and we began to suffer from the intense high heat and strange insects. There were no helicopters or water to bear this heat, and we struggled to fill water. Also, in the summer, people need a lot of water to cool down.

As we are in Deir Al-Balah tents My mother suffered a stroke in her leg, and there are no hospitals, medicines, or appropriate tools for treatment. We have suffered a lot.
<img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/81503085_1721386963964447_r.png" alt="81503085_1721386963964447_r.png" />
When they bombed the area where we are, my brother suffered several injuries to his body, such as breaking his teeth, hand, and leg. My father also suffered from an injury to his left foot, such that he could not walk. And my father and mother who are always crying because they have not seen their family in the northern Gaza Strip for 9 months. And my brothers who were suffering from their kidneys hurting because of the impure water they were drinking, but in the Gaza Strip there is no clean water to drink.
 <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/81503085_1721387047228209_r.png" alt="81503085_1721387047228209_r.png" /> <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/81503085_1721387014516323_r.png" alt="81503085_1721387014516323_r.png" />
My little brothers(Jamal and Ahmad), who are 7 and 9 years old, the occupation deprived them of their most basic rights, such as education and play, and confined them to a tent where they could not breathe air. It also made them work at this age, such as filling water, getting food from aid, and collecting cardboard to light a fire. The necessities and things that children desire are very expensive. As they are suffering a lot and are very sad about what is happening to them at such a young age. They want psychological entertainment, but there is no such thing in the Gaza Strip.
<img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/81503085_1721387112307951_r.png" alt="81503085_1721387112307951_r.png" /> <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/81503085_1721387079389022_r.png" alt="81503085_1721387079389022_r.png" />
The thing I was most sad about was our farm and the animals we raised Our farm is full of trees. Every tree has its season, like the olive tree, which we and our family gather in the month of the 11th to pick the olives and squeeze them. This was one of our holidays for us.
 
During the fig season, we pick figs season eat them, as well as grapes, peaches, oranges, lemons, molokhiya, eggplants, and pumpkins. The occupation has destroyed these trees and has not left us any trees left for them.
 <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/81503085_1721387333105038_r.png" alt="81503085_1721387333105038_r.png" /> <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/81503085_1721387232795412_r.png" alt="81503085_1721387232795412_r.png" /> <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/81503085_172138721847165_r.png" alt="81503085_172138721847165_r.png" /> <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/81503085_1721387171131275_r.png" alt="81503085_1721387171131275_r.png" /> <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/81503085_1721387162968415_r.png" alt="81503085_1721387162968415_r.png" /> 
And the animals that we raised, like the dog that used to come with us to any place, guarding our house and saving us from any other animal that attacked us, alerting us if there was a strange person or a strange insect. He was very loyal, and the chickens that we were raising became under the rubble.
