‼️A 13-year-old child from Gaza, Mohammad Sarhan, saw his father killed before his eyes by the Israeli occupation, then was kidnapped by them along with his mother. He was later released alone, without a mother or father, and suddenly found himself the sole caretaker of his younger siblings. “I feel like a 35-year-old man,” he says. “I can’t study or play like other children. I have to work to bring food and water for my family.” At just 13, Mohammad carries both the grief of genocide and the burden of survival, forced to grow up too soon in a world that stole his childhood. salmakaddoumi (IG)
