<div>Hi, I'm Alaa B. Kalloub, an English language teacher from Deir El Balah in Gaza. My family – my husband Ahmed and our three children Ellen, Hamood, and Adam – have endured unimaginable hardships in this war-torn city.
</div>

<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I once had a peaceful life and a work that I like. I miss my work and my students. We are humans and we deserve to live in peace!
</div>
<div><br />

</div>
<div>Me now:

<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For more than six months, each member of my small family has suffered from the scourge of war, living each day not knowing if we would be able to make it to the next one. I look at the eyes of my children and see the unknown! That feeling of being helpless is so painful for me as a mother and for my husband as a father.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Living in Gaza means living in constant fear, with no guarantee of safety or a future. Our children have lost their right to education and peace, witnessing unspeakable violence and trauma. Ahmed, my husband, battled and survived Penile Sarcoma, but now needs ongoing medical care.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ellen, my talented daughter, has always been clever and talented. She loved her school and her teacher. She likes drawing and wants to be an artist. Unfortunately, she is no longer able to go to her school and her teacher was killed!
</div>

<div>My son, Hamood, has grown much during this war. He does not recognise any electrical machine due to the permanent cut of electricity. He thinks the fan is a plane, which he sees (the plane) very often in the sky, and suffers from psychological and multiple traumas.

</div>
<div>My youngest son, Adam, was born during this war. His birth conditions were too difficult. In the hospital, we were surrounded by shelling from all sides. It was hell!
</div>
<div>Adam doesn't even have a birth certificate!
</div>
<div><br />

</div>
<div>My husband, Ahmed, like me, lost his work and even his health. In 2022 -2023, he was diagnosed by Penile Sarcoma. It was an event that destroyed us from inside. There were lots of pain and tears. We suffered days and nights till he beated it. Ahmed went through lots of surgeries. Today, Ahmed needs a medical review and ongoing medical checking.
