My name is Aya Muhammad. I was born and raised in Gaza, where I lived a simple life filled with hope and ambition. From a young age, I dreamed of making a positive change in my community and achieving a dignified life for my family. I studied commerce at Al-Azhar University in Gaza, looking forward to graduating and starting my journey toward independence. During my studies, I met my husband, Muhammad, and our love story grew with hope as we planned to build a home and life together.
We were preparing for our marriage, spending time setting up our home and choosing the furniture we had always dreamed of. We shared beautiful moments dining in Gazaโs restaurants, walking along the beach, and enjoying peaceful times with our families, where life was full of joy and hope.
Then, suddenly, war erupted, turning our lives upside down. Our home was destroyed, forcing us to flee from Beit Hanoun in northern Gaza to the south, where we found ourselves living in a cold tent during the harsh winter. We lost our jobs and our source of income, and the dreams we had built together disappeared. As we faced repeated displacement, we moved from streets to open areas, with no choice but to endure the difficult conditions imposed upon us.
During this time, my husband lost some of his family members, and we endured the grief of losing loved ones and neighbors day by day. My father became bedridden after suffering paralysis, without access to the necessary medical care. These hardships weighed heavily on us, and despite the limited aid we receive, we try to stay strong and make it through each day.
Today, I share my story with the world, hoping our voices reach those who can help us rebuild our lives and support us as we strive to overcome this tragedy. My story is more than words; it is a call for support and a hope for building a better future.
