I am Hamdi Muqdad, a 22-year-old university student. I live in the stricken city of Gaza, where killing, bombing, and destruction are raging.
My only remaining sister and I live in a small tent after losing our home and all our family members, including my mother, my older brother, my younger brother, my sister and her children, her husband, and my aunt and her family, in a bombing that targeted our home.
I studied information and communication technology at the University College in Gaza, but I did not complete my education due to the outbreak of war and the difficult conditions.
I am speaking to you here from the heart of famine and the unprecedented high cost of living in the world, where there are no basic necessities for a decent life.
