About this campaign
My name is Leena. I live in Gaza, and I am the oldest of three family members. Before the war, I carried normal responsibilities at home, helped my mother with daily chores, cared for my sister, and dreamed of finishing school and building a peaceful future.
Now, I wake up every day with one goal: keep my family alive. Our home is gone, and the streets I once knew feel like memories from another life. My mother is sick, suffering from a severe stomach infection caused by the contaminated water we have been forced to drink. Doctors feared it could be affecting her pancreas, but there are no proper tests, no medicine, and no hospitals that can truly help her now.
My sister is also unwell, weakened by the same unsafe water and the constant stress of survival. I do my best to care for them—searching for water, looking for food, and carrying responsibilities that grow heavier each day. Still, I remind myself that I am strong because I must be.
Even in the ruins, I search for light. I find hope in the sunrise over the tents, a kind smile from a neighbour, and the sound of my mother’s prayers at dawn. I tell my sister that one day we will rebuild, and that one day the world will be quiet again. Until then, we hold on to faith, love, and the belief that even in Gaza, hope is stronger than fear.
