In a poignant expression of grief and loss, Maya took to Facebook to share her heartbreak over the murder of Mohammed, who was killed by the occupation on October 7th. Her emotional post highlighted the deep impact of violence on personal lives, stating, \"I don't know how I'll live without you. You are everything, and I'm nothing without you.\"
The meeting also touched on the tragic stories of young lives cut short by conflict. Ayesha, who was excited to transition from kindergarten to 1st grade, tragically died alongside her siblings due to hunger. Her life was extinguished on November 5th, a day that should have marked a new beginning for her.
Kareem Abu Shamala's story was similarly heartbreaking; he would have celebrated his 9th birthday on November 5th, a milestone he had eagerly anticipated for three months. The discussions underscored the profound human cost of ongoing violence, with personal narratives illustrating the broader impact on families and communities.
