What does any child in this world want, other than to live their childhood the way they deserve?
To have the things they love, to leave their home safely, to go to school without fear, and to go to the supermarket and choose for themselves what they crave and love, without their only concern being finding something to satisfy their hunger…
To run and play, to laugh, to go out with their family, and to return home safely without fearing that they might not make it back.
The children of Gaza are not asking for the impossible; they are asking for only the most basic rights to life.
They have the right to safety, freedom, play, laughter, and to experience a normal childhood like children everywhere else in the world.
They are children just like all the children of the world…
So why have their dreams become so small?
Why has a child’s dream in Gaza become simply to survive? 💔
The children of Gaza have the right to live…
They have the right to freedom, to a safe childhood, and to walk into a supermarket and choose the things they love, rather than grow up knowing only the meaning of fear, loss, and hunger.
