Some photographs stay with you because they reveal a truth no words can fully capture.
The image of a child trying to reach a parent is a reminder of the human cost of war. No child should ever face such loss, and no family should have to endure moments like these.
As someone living in Gaza, I see how conflict continues to reshape childhood. Many children grow up surrounded by uncertainty, displacement, and grief instead of the safety every child deserves.
When we say "never again," those words should carry meaning for every innocent civilian, everywhere. Compassion should never depend on borders, nationality, or politics.
Please remember the children of Gaza. Behind every image is a life, a family, and a future that deserved the chance to exist.
