The event centers the voices of people on the ground, highlighting the realities of health, education, and daily survival in Gaza amidst ongoing genocide.

About 10,000 Palestinians remain missing, believed to be buried under the rubble of collapsed buildings during Israel's genocidal war. Six months into the so-called ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, thousands of families still cannot bury their loved ones.

I ran with my family to the hospital and stayed there to hide. We thought it would be safe because it's a children's hospital. In the chaos of the strike, help was not an option.

Iran is the cradle of one of the greatest civilizations this planet has ever seen. While our ancestors in Europe were still figuring out how to build a hut, the Persians had already written the world's first declaration of human rights, built a multicultural empire that treated conquered peoples with dignity, and were doing math and medicine that we wouldn't catch up to for a thousand years.

In Gaza, our suffering has come not only from the political war between Hamas and Israel but also from the economic war that we have been living with since October 7, 2023.

Mahmoud Shamiya, a university graduate who dreamed of becoming a teacher, now spends his days navigating a deadly routine in a displacement camp. He reflects, 'The occupation and this war came and destroyed all the landmarks of education in Gaza. Today, we have become aimless, jobless, and hopeless. We live a deadly routine.'

Sawsan al-Jadba describes her lost land as a deep wound in her chest, a nightmare she never imagined living through. Despite the destruction, she is determined to stay put with her daughters and grandchildren, cultivating her remaining plot again despite limited resources.

"Studying in international universities is the only option for many Palestinians in Gaza who dream about a higher education after the destruction of their universities."

The plan would see disarmament as one of the components of the October ceasefire to end Israel's genocidal war on Gaza, implemented gradually over an eight-month, multiphase process.

Hamza Nabhan, a medical student, stated, 'I will continue to say it: the paramedics, the firefighters and the civil defence workers are the real heroes of this war.'

I would call it a witch hunt. They've been trying to get rid of me since the very beginning, ever since I started using my personal social media platforms to talk about what was going on in Gaza. As a pro-life Christian, I couldn't deny the horrific suffering that the Palestinians were enduring.

I wanted to expand the activities I do with children beyond drawing and colouring. I searched online and discovered that yoga can help children recover from trauma, al-Gharbawi told Al Jazeera. Since yoga isn't widely available here in Gaza, I decided to learn online and practice it with the children. Through yoga, they can release stress and cope with the difficult life around them.

Israeli air strikes killed at least two Palestinians in Gaza on the third day of Ramadan in the latest breach of the truce deal signed with Hamas more than four months ago. The attacks on Saturday occurred in northern Gaza's Jabalia camp and the Qizan an-Najjar area in southern Gaza. The total death toll from Israel's attacks since the ceasefire came into effect has risen to 614, with 1,640 more Palestinians wounded, according to the Palestinian news agency Wafa.
