In the darkest moments, when the world seemed to forget the value of human life, Gaza stood as a testament to resilience, faith, and the unyielding spirit of humanity. I’ve witnessed stories that could shatter even the strongest among us—mothers walking miles while pregnant, children taking their first steps on the rubble of their homes, and families losing everything to stand for what’s right. These stories are not just about loss; they’re about the lessons we must learn—the privilege we often take for granted, the strength we underestimate, and the humanity we must fight to preserve.

The passing of Sayyed has left us without a father, without a protector. He wasn’t just carrying a nation, he was carrying the hearts
رحيل السيد و تركنا بلا أب، بلا حامي. الدنيا فجأة همدت، والفراغ اللي تركه موجع أكتر مما كنا نتخيل. كنا نعرف إنه نحبه، بس هلأ فهمنا قديش هو كان يحبنا. حبه كان بالأفعال والتضحيات، مش بس بالكلام. يا سيد، كنت الأب اللي الحماية والتربية جزء من روحه. غيابك تركنا وحيدين، بس ذكراك منقوشة بقلوبنا، ودروسك عايشة فينا.
