The War Is Over, But the Struggle In Gaza Isn't

The war has ended, but life hasn’t returned to normal. The sounds of bombing have faded, but the struggles remain. Every day is still a battle, not against missiles or soldiers, but against hunger, exhaustion, and scarcity.

Even now, after the war, we are financially drained. The little savings we had are gone, and basic necessities like food, clean water, and electricity are still hard to come by. We wake up every day hoping things will get easier, but the reality is that survival itself has become a full time job.

Our home, like many others, has been damaged. Streets are broken, shops are empty, and the few working bakeries are overwhelmed. Life in Gaza has always been difficult, but after the recent attacks, every simple task feels impossible. Carrying water, cooking meals, keeping food from spoiling without reliable electricity these are challenges that never stop.

We are trying to rebuild, to recover, and to find a sense of normalcy. But the truth is, we can’t do it alone. Even after the war has ended, support is still desperately needed. Every contribution, every small act of help, makes a real difference for families like ours.

The war may be over, but the real struggle continues and we are still here, hoping for a chance to survive, to rebuild, and to live with dignity again.
