Gaza is home to more than two million people enduring severe hardships marked by scarce resources and ongoing conflict. Yet amidst these difficulties, children continue to foster hopes for education, freedom, and stability. Recent UNICEF data reveals that nearly 60% of Gazan youth hold strong aspirations for peaceful futures despite daily uncertainties.
