Story of Fadia, 11 years old, Bourj El Barajneh, Lebanon

I am Palestinian, and my name is Fadia. I am witnessing what is

happening in Gaza.  I have been without food because I see how our

people are being killed by rockets. I truly hate injustice and how they

treat children. Their homes and buildings are gone, and we feel sorrow

because our people are suffering unjustly. When I browse Facebook, I

see the world divided, and everyone is dying in it. Also, the attacks on

hospitals and people with heart conditions, and those who have died

with their names written on their bodies so they can be identified.

Everything is gone, but our people are still strong and unafraid. I say to

the people of Palestine, may God protect you, and hopefully, Palestine

will be liberated. I am at the House of Resilient Children Foundation,

and we all joined the protests for our country, Palestine, to strengthen

and convey our voice to our people in Palestine.

Story of Aisha Salim, 10 years old, Mar Elias, Beirut

My name is Aisha Salim, and I am in grade five at Al-Kabri UNRWA school in Mar Elias. I am 10 years old. When they carried out the operation in our camp, protests erupted, and my family and I were happy with the news. The school also organised a celebration, asking us to draw about Palestine, and those who knew a song about Palestine sang it. When I went home and saw on television that the Israeli aircraft were killing children, I became scared. I started praying for God to support Gaza, and I pray every day. Whenever they turn on the television for the news, and I see those scenes, I pray for God to have mercy on the martyrs and to grant victory to the resistance in Gaza. My cousin and my cousins daughter are living in Gaza. My aunt calls them every day to check on them because we are living in the same place. I hear her asking about the situation, and they tell us about the frequent bombings. Sometimes there is no contact, and my cousin's daughter calls her neighbors because
