A mother in Gaza confronts the hardship of raising a child without access to fundamental provisions, according to We Are Not Numbers. Her son dreams of attending kindergarten—a basic milestone in childhood development—yet she cannot afford to fulfill even this modest aspiration for him.
The constraints of life in Gaza force mothers to make impossible choices about their children's futures. Providing education, nutrition, and safety has become beyond the reach of families navigating the territory's economic crisis and ongoing humanitarian challenges. Kindergarten, once a standard part of early childhood, now represents an unattainable goal for many Palestinian families unable to cover its costs.
