I am Malak Bilal, a 26 year old writer from Gaza.

Words have always been my way of expressing the suffering we are experiencing.

 But this time, words are not enough to describe what we are experiencing.

I lost a large part of my family as a result of the bombing, and many of my loved ones were martyred.

I currently live with what remains of my family in a small tent, homeless, without a breadwinner, and amid extremely difficult conditions, where we lack the most basic necessities of daily life.

Despite all this pain, I still have hope that we can live with dignity, laugh, dream, learn, and feel safe again.

Therefore, I ask for your support so that I can continue on this path and regain the security that was suddenly taken away.

Please help me live my life with dignity and hope, so that I can develop my talent for writing,

and continue my journey despite all the challenges.
