I am Nismah from Gaza
I am Nismah, a Palestinian girl living in Gaza. The Gaza that we have always loved despite all the pain and suffering it has brought us, but I try to hold on to hope in the midst of all this destruction.
I live with my small family in a tent erected on the remains of our house that was destroyed by the war. My mother and father, who are now elderly, live with me in this tent, and my brother Ahmed, who was born with a physical disability, always sits beside me smiling despite everything. Ahmed is the light that illuminates our darkness, and his smile carries within it meanings of patience and strength.
I suffer from constant pain in my colon, a pain that has become part of my daily life. Every time I wake up, I feel the weight of this pain gnawing at my body, but I find strength in my mother’s love, my father’s prayers, and my brother’s patience. We live in harsh conditions, where the cold in the winter rages upon us, and the heat in the summer suffocates our breath, but we try to cling to life.
My mother cooks for us on a small stove, and we share the food with love. My father, despite his old age, tries to support us as much as he can. He goes out every morning to look for any job opportunity, even if it is small, just to secure our minimum needs.
As for me, I try to be a support for my family. I help my mother with the tent work, and I try to bring joy to Ahmed's heart by drawing for him or telling him the stories he loves. But at the same time, I carry a dream in my heart, a dream of getting rid of this suffering, a dream of a warm home where we can settle down away from the harshness of life in this tent.
Every day I look at the sky and pray to God that a day will come when this tragedy will end, that I will be able to treat my pain, and that I will see my family living a dignified life, a life full of love and security. We in Gaza are learning how to live despite the wounds, and how to dream despite everything. And I, despite all this pain, am still a breeze carrying hope in my heart, and dreaming of a better tomorrow.
