I am Mahmoud AlKafarna from Gaza.

I studied one year of Multimedia out of four, before my education was forced to stop due to the genocide that destroyed everything except my writing.

I write because writing became my only way to stay alive amid war, hunger, and displacement.

This book is not a work of fiction; it is a testimony of someone who lived the details: the tent, hunger, the loss of home, and food that was never meant to be food.

I write to carry Gaza’s voice to the world,

and to say that we are not numbers — we are stories, hearts, and dreams that have not died.

If my words reach you, it means that resilience is still possible,

and that hope can be born even from beneath the rubble.
