In the wake of the ongoing war in Gaza, the dreams of aspiring medical students hang in the balance. Many have lost not only their university campuses but also the stability provided by their parents' jobs, plunging them into a state of uncertainty and despair. These courageous individuals, undeterred by the death around them, remain steadfast in their pursuit of education, recognizing its transformative power to rebuild their shattered community. Now more than ever, they need our support to overcome the barriers that threaten to derail their dreams.
We decided as a group of Gazan medical students who managed to evacuate from Gaza to start this initiative to the world explaining the circumstances and feelings students feel about their future. Before the war, we were happy medical students at Al-Azhar University of Gaza. All of a sudden, We found ourselves displaced, starving, and futureless.
