My name is Layla, a 4th-year dental student from Gaza. My journey has been one of resilience, hope, and determination, despite facing unimaginable challenges. My family and I have endured genocide—displacement, starvation, and relentless bombings. I have witnessed destruction all around me, yet I refuse to let it destroy my dreams.
Even in the darkest times, I found ways to continue my education online, holding onto my goal of becoming a dentist. The recent ceasefire brings a fragile sense of hope, but the reality remains harsh—my university, the place where I was building my future, has been bombed, burned, and bulldozed.
Pursuing my dream has become even more challenging. I need to pay tuition fees and purchase dental tools and materials, which are essential for both my education and future career. These costs are overwhelming, especially given the hardships my family and I have endured.
If you can help or know someone who can, your support would mean the world to me. Your kindness can help me resume my education, rebuild my future, and secure the basics for my family. Thank you for taking the time to hear my story.🥹
The man crying in the video is Volodymyr Lohinov - a firefighter who chose the profession because he decided to follow in his father's footsteps. He is crying because the explosion in another area of the city has just killed his father, 52-year-old Vladyslav Lohinov. Both men were on duty when russians shelled the city.
russian recent tactic is to fire more missiles after the first responders come to rescue people after the first attack. They are doing that intentionally to kill people who are able to help and to save lives.
Watch it and realize that behind any number of casualties lies somebody's name, life, family, plans and desire to live. We are not just numbers somewhere in the news. We are people who are forced to survive under constant attacks. We are still here. We are people who lose their lives in terroristic attacks every goddamn day.

I think I need more commissions like this one, which looks like old postcards or old illustrations from books. I like digital graphic technic last time
My friend studies here too, and i really glad she didn't go to academy today...
so many of my friends study there. some of them were at classes during the hit
I’m sick of this victim blaming.
Every person who says such things to Ukrainians is a bastard. Every person who don’t want to listen to us is a coward.
