بقع بيضاء غطت جسدها، وشيب مبكر في شعرها، وتنمّر يطاردها في كل مكان، حتى باتت سجينة العزلة والخذلان.
ليست وحدها، بل هي صورة من وجع آلاف الأطفال في غزة، حيث لا دواء، ولا أمان، ولا طفولة تُحترم.
“I used to be beautiful… now no one loves me.”
With these heartbreaking words, 10-year-old Lana Al-Sharif sums up her pain after fear stole the color of her childhood.
She developed vitiligo as a result of severe trauma and panic attacks following an Israeli airstrike that hit a house next to hers.
White patches now cover her body, her hair has turned gray from fear, and relentless bullying has forced her into isolation and silence.
Lana is not alone—she is the face of thousands of children in Gaza,
where there is no medicine, no safety, and no childhood left to protect.
