My daughter Layan tells me: “Even if I see a flower in the street… I don’t go near it or smell it, because I’m afraid it might explode due to remnants left behind by the occupation.” With her simple words, Layan describes a harsh reality that children in Gaza are living—where ordinary things have become sources of danger. She talks about suspicious objects and explosives, like a little expert forced to understand things no child should have to know. Layan attended an awareness activity for children, where she colored drawings warning about the dangers of war remnants—trying to understand this threat… and avoid it. But the painful truth is that many children have lost their lives or their limbs because of these remnants, which were deliberately left inside homes—sometimes disguised as toys or food cans. A silent danger that follows our children everywhere… even in the simplest moments of childhood. Video
