 Dear world, we, the innocent children of Gaza, pen this heartfelt plea to the world as we stand bewildered in the midst of chaos and violence. The skies above us tremble and roll, unleashing devastation upon our homes, shelters, hospitals, schools and places of worship. We find ourselves caught in a relentless storm of violence, and we cannot fathom the intricacies of the conflict that engulfs us. We are the children of Gaza, and over 2,000 of us have been killed in our sleep. Our cries of pain and fear echo on heart and on headed as the world remains silent in the face of our suffering. We represent the future, the hope of tomorrow. Yet our innocence is being stolen by the harshness and indifference of those who do not spare us. We besiege. Why can't Israel spare us? The children are the places we seek refuge. Instead of focusing on the militant, the pursue. We are but little ones with hopes of playing at tending schools and enjoying nourishing meals just like the children in Israel. We yarn for the safety and peace that should be every child bathed right. To the United States, we reach out with hope in our hearts. We've witnessed how Ukrainian children received shelter and assistance where Russia's invasion began. We wonder is there truly a distinction between us, the children of Gaza and those in Ukraine? Why send warships instead of preventing the attacks on us? And why obstruct the United Nations attempt to broker a ceasefire? We direct our words now to Benjamin Netanyahu, who speaks of fighting because children have fallen victims of October 7 attacks. If this is indeed the case, why does he not also consider us the children of Gaza? We honestly employ him to reconsider his stance to seek a ceasefire that allows us to return to our schools, enjoy wholesome meals and play in a peaceful environment. To the Arab Muslim nations, our hearts are heavy. Your silence impedes the flow of aid to the Gaza Strip. Is politics truly more permanent than us, the children who embody the future of the world in Palestine? We besiege front oil embargo to hold the sizeless bombings and destruction of our lives. We call on Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, Libya, Egypt, Morocco, Iran and all nations to tend their gaze towards us. We need your support now more than ever. You are our protectors and we are your children. Please rise to defend us in this crucial hour. In a united voice, we declare we are no target nor are we a mass. We are innocent defenseless children from Gaza with hope and yawning. The children of Gaza.
