WINTER should bring comfort — a time for families to gather, share stories, and enjoy life’s small joys as rain taps gently on the windows. In Gaza, it was once a cherished season, a pause from the sweltering heat of summer, a time for soup bubbling on stoves and children laughing under thick blankets.
But Gaza’s winters are no longer seasons of comfort. They are seasons of survival.
When we were first displaced, the thought of winter seemed distant. We left our homes believing we’d return in days, packing little more than the clothes on our backs. Now, winter has arrived, and with it, a sharp realisation: there is no returning home.
