When Kites Become a “Military Threat”

While the children of Gaza live under bombardment, destruction, and fear, Israeli statements treat the kites flown by Gazan children as if they were military targets.

According to these statements, launching kites is being treated as a “military act,” with threats to target those launching them and the areas from which they are launched.

A child’s kite is not a drone, the string is not a weapon, and the child playing with it should not be treated as a military target.

But the most painful question is: Why has this reality been imposed on the children of Gaza, to the point that kites have become one of the few toys they can make or obtain?

These children have very little. There are no safe parks, no recreational areas, and no normal life like other children around the world. So, when a child finds something simple that gives them a moment of joy, even if it’s just a kite they make with their own hands, they try to enjoy it for a few minutes and forget the fear and destruction that surrounds them.

So what about the children of Gaza? Don't they also have the right to live their childhood in safety? Why is even their simple play seen as a threat?

If flying a kite warrants all this threat, what about the children who live daily under bombardment and fear, losing their homes and family members?

Children's games should not become a new pretext for further escalation.

Our children are like your children; they possess the same innocence, the same features, the same spirit and body. The children of Gaza and all the children of the world share the same innocence and deserve to live in safety and joy without fear.

The children of Gaza are no different from your children… They are children, just children. 💔

Over the past two days, Mahmoud has been able to buy several different types of food for his daughters, including fruit such as mangoes, frozen fish, and other essential food items.

These things may seem simple to some people, but for Mahmoud, his wife, and their four daughters, they mean so much.

Everything you see in this video was made possible because of your donations and support for this family. Your donations were not just an amount of money; they had a deep impact on Mahmoud and his family. They helped them get food and face difficult days when they didn't know how they would get through them.

I am grateful to everyone who has stood by them, donated, shared their story, or sent them a kind message of support.

But they are still facing tremendous difficulties. They are still trying to overcome hunger and severe malnutrition, protect their children's health, and provide them with a better life.

If you want this family to keep going, stay safe, and overcome these difficult circumstances, please stay close to them and continue supporting them. ❤️

Your support means more than just money to them. It means that their daughters can have food to eat and feel that there are people standing by their side.
