Hi, I'm Yael from Mazkeret Batya. I'm in 12 grade, but everything is so hard now.
Since October 7th, our life turn upside down. My dad and sister are in Gaza now, fighting. Every day, I worry about them. Will they come back? Are they safe? It's too much to think about.At home, it's not easy too. My mum, she very stressed. She shout a lot, even for small things. I know she worry about dad and my sister, but it's hard for me too. Sometimes I want to tell her to stop, but I understand she scared like me. School? I can't focus at all. The teachers try to teach, but my mind always somewhere else. I think about my family in Gaza, about the sirens that can come any moment. How can I learn about math or history when all this happening? Mazkeret Batya feel different now. We used to feel safe here, but now, we scared of everything. Every loud noise make us jump. We always ready to run to shelter. how life was before. I miss my whole family being together, laughing, not worrying all the time. I miss feeling normal. My friends and me, we try to support each other. But it's hard when everyone scared and sad. We talk about our fears, about our families. It help a little, but the worry never really go away.I hope this war end soon. I want my dad and sister back home. I want to feel safe again. I want to be able to think about normal things, like school and friends, not about bombs and soldiers.This situation, it change us all. I learn how strong we can be, but also how fragile everything is. I just want peace and for my family to be together again.
