Gaza Student Strumming for Peace Amid Conflict 🎸✌️

Meet Rahaf Fahd Nasser – a 21-year-old music student whose guitar strings now play the soundtrack of resilience in Gaza. After losing her home and instruments to bombardments, Rahaf turned a borrowed guitar into a megaphone for her people’s struggle. 🎶

\"Music speaks louder than missiles,\" says the Al-Azhar University student, now displaced to Rafah. Her soulful covers of Arabic folk songs – shared across social media – have become viral symbols of hope, racking up thousands of shares worldwide. 🌍

But behind the melodies lies grim reality: over 37,000 Palestinian lives lost in eight months of fighting, per Gaza health authorities. While mediators push for a truce deal, airstrikes continue daily. 💔

Rahaf’s story mirrors Gaza’s youth – 50% of the population is under 19 – using TikTok beats, street art, and poetry to counter despair. As she strums through blackouts, the world hears a generation refusing to be silenced. ✊
