Hello, I am Mohammed Alwadiya.

After living through the first months of the genocide in Gaza and being forced to leave my city, leaving behind my homeland, my family, and everyone I love... despite all the pain, pressure, and days that felt like hell, I never stopped trying.

I kept pushing forward to build a dignified life for myself and my family who remain in Gaza.

Thank you to South Africa 🇿🇦, its leadership, and its people for standing with Palestine and supporting our just cause. And thank you to all the free people of the world.

From Gaza 🇵🇸, we say to you: you are part of us, and we are part of you. We love you all.
