My name is Abdul Majeed Turkiya. I’m 42 years old, living in Gaza with my wife and our two daughters: Eman, who is 13, and Bayan, who is 10. We are a Palestinian family with Egyptian citizenship, but the war has trapped us in Gaza, far from safety and hope.
Before everything collapsed, I worked as a coordinator for charitable projects, helping bring joy to the children of Gaza. Eman dreams of becoming a doctor and used to light up our home with her smile. Bayan, our youngest, loves drawing her little hands once filled papers with flowers. Now, they live in fear.
Abdul Majeed’s family in Gaza faces hardship after losing their home. Eman dreams of being a doctor, and Bayan finds hope in drawing, supported by Abdul Majeed’s love.
Abdul Majeed and his family live in a tent in Gaza after losing their home. He supports his daughters, Eman, who dreams of being a doctor, and Bayan, who expresses herself through drawing, helping them cope with the devastation.
