🏚️ Everyday Survival in Gaza: No Electricity, No Safety.

“We don’t know when the lights will come. Sometimes, it’s off for 20 hours. My children do homework with candles.”
— Amal, a mother of three in Gaza

Life in Gaza is a daily test of resilience. Entire families live in bombed-out buildings, with electricity often available for just 2-4 hours a day. Generators hum in the background, but fuel is scarce.

🚧 West Bank Checkpoints: A Childhood Interrupted

“I cross three checkpoints to go to my university. Some days I’m late, some days I’m not allowed in at all.”
— Yousef, a 19-year-old student in Ramallah

Even in the occupied West Bank, daily life is filled with delays, fear, and confrontation. Palestinians wait for hours at military checkpoints. Soldiers with rifles are a part of daily reality.

🍞 Food, Water, and the Right to Live

“I haven’t eaten meat in months. My salary is gone in three days.”
— Fadi, a taxi driver in Khan Younis

Basic food items have doubled in price. Over 65% of people in Gaza are food insecure. Aid agencies struggle to keep up as border restrictions make deliveries difficult.

🎨 Hope in Art and Culture: The Spirit That Refuses to Die

“Even if they destroy our homes, we paint on the walls to remind the world: we are still here.”
— Aseel, a 16-year-old graffiti artist in Gaza

Palestinians turn to music, art, and poetry to cope with trauma. From mural-covered ruins to heartfelt oud performances, culture is their resistance.

📚 Education as Resistance

Despite everything, schools open even under fire. Kids learn in damaged classrooms, determined to change their future. Palestine’s literacy rate is one of the highest in the Arab world — a sign of how much they value education.
