Mohanad, Mohamed’s closest friend, was a brave young man, filled with hope even during the darkest days in Gaza. Always ready to help others with his kind heart, he believed that solidarity was the only way to ease the suffering of his people. One day, amidst ongoing shelling in the north, Mohanad decided to go to a truck delivering much-needed food and medical aid to desperate families.

He stood in a long line, surrounded by people anxiously waiting for their share of aid. He knew how much this moment meant to families who had endured hunger and illness, and he was determined to bring some of these supplies back to his neighbors and friends, offering them even a small bit of relief.

Suddenly, in a cruel and unexpected moment, a bullet rang out, shattering the fragile hope in the air. Mohanad fell to the ground, and panic spread among the crowd. Mohamed, watching from a distance, screamed and ran toward his friend, unable to comprehend what had happened. How could Mohanad’s life end this way, while he was simply trying to help others?

Mohamed reached Mohanad’s motionless body, his eyes filled with tears and disbelief. Mohanad’s last gaze was directed toward the sky, as if bidding farewell to a world full of pain. That bullet did not just take the life of a young man; it struck the hearts of everyone who knew Mohanad, the heart of Mohamed who lost a brother, and the hearts of the people who lost an irreplaceable supporter.

The farewell was heartbreaking, but Mohanad’s spirit remained alive in Mohamed’s memory and in the hearts of all who had known his kindness. His martyrdom was a painful reminder of the countless sacrifices in Gaza, and that the true heroes are those who gave their lives to bring a smile to the faces of others. https://gofund.me/1222af19
