Every time I think I’ve run out of tears, Gaza finds a way to break my heart again.

In the past few weeks alone, more of my family, friends, and neighbors were either buried under the rubble or forced to flee into the unknown. I scroll through names and faces I grew up with, now listed among the dead — not in history books, but on social media posts filled with grief.

This petition began as a cry for justice, for dignity, for life. But now it also holds memory. Behind every signature here is a name that still breathes, still hopes — and behind every name in Gaza is a story that the world must not forget.

I am not a politician. I am not an organization. I am just one voice, a Palestinian from Gaza, trying to speak when so many have been silenced. You signing this petition means you are helping us speak. You are refusing to look away.

Please keep sharing. Please help us amplify the call:

Ceasefire now. Dignity now. Humanity now.

Thank you,
