In the heart of one of Gaza’s overcrowded displacement camps, 11-year-old Anas and his family struggle daily to survive the food shortages and the dry living conditions. Displaced from their home due to the ongoing War, after losing their father. Anas’s mother could not provide regular meals for her children.
Anas’s father was a shopkeeper, lost his livelihood when his store was destroyed. With no income and limited humanitarian aid, the family often skipped meals or survived on scraps. And after losing his father, life became pretty much unbearable. Anas, who was once an energetic boy, grew weak and struggled to focus. And as the oldest boy, he needed to persevere every day to secure his family their daily needs of water and food, and despite his daily struggle to do that, he couldn’t successfully get a meal every day. Rana –his mother says, ” We would go days without proper food. Seeing my children hungry broke my heart, but we had no choice.”
When the hot-meal distribution program reached their camp, everything changed. Anas’s family received nutritious, freshly cooked meals daily, rice, lentils, and fresh vegetables. The relief was immediate. Anas started to gradually regain his strength and could play with other children again.
This project did more than fill stomachs; it restored dignity, kindled hope, and whispered to families like Anas’s: You are seen. You matter. As we look ahead, we carry their gratitude in our hearts as a fuel to keep serving, keep fighting, and keep believing in a future where no child goes to bed hungry.
