I have written a book โ๏ธ titled "Pages from a Tent in the Gaza War", and today Iโm sharing with you the first day from this book.
Day One โ The Night Everything Changed
It was an ordinary night in Gazaโฆ or at least I thought so.
I was sitting with Yara, talking about tomorrow, about the children, about the house we dreamed of rebuilding. Imad was playing in the corner, and Adam was trying to take his tiny steps toward me. Suddenly, everything changed.
A deafening explosion shook the ground, followed by a series of blasts that made the walls tremble. In that moment, I thought of only one thing: holding my children close to me.
I ran to Imad, lifted Adam into my arms, while Yara tried to hide her fear behind a trembling smile. But the truth was, the sky above us had turned into fire, and the smell of gunpowder filled my breath.
That night wasnโt just the start of the bombingโit was the end of the life we once knewโฆ the beginning of a new journey, from a warm home to a cold tent, from big dreams to simply trying to survive another day.
If my story matters to you and you want to read more, follow and share, as I will be posting a part of this book every day.
