As the Palestine-Israel conflict stretches into its second year, Gaza faces a devastating humanitarian crisis – over 45,000 lives lost and 106,000 injured since 2024. Amid the rubble of Khan Younis, 28-year-old Dima Naseer shares her New Year hopes with NewspaperAmigo: 'We need the world to remember us.'
A Cry for Peace
Dima, who lost her home in an airstrike last month, describes nights spent listening to drones instead of music. 'My wish isn’t complicated,' she says. 'Clean water. Medicine for children. And eyes watching us from beyond the checkpoints.'
Hopes for 2025
Activists report dwindling global attention as the conflict continues. Dima urges younger generations worldwide: 'Use your voice. Share our stories. Peace needs more TikTok warriors.' With ceasefire talks stalled, her message highlights the human cost often lost in political debates.
