Quote from a long-standing Save the Children staff member in Gaza who is on the move with three children all aged under 10.
“Looking into the eyes of my children every minute, I can see the questions they have – they are looking for answers, for reassurance that everything will be okay, and for a glimpse of a hope and brighter future. I, like any parent, feel a deep responsibility to provide them with that sense of security and hope. Yet, the reality of our current circumstances is heartbreaking.
“For the first time, I find myself desiring to be a rock, empty of senses and resistant to pain. I wish I had super powers, like the birds, to escape this strip with my family in search of refuge. I wish I could be a superhero, carrying my children away to live in peace.”
