Every day and every moment… Gaza orphans are feeling grief and sorrow after the loss of their mothers or fathers, their lives become an open book just contains suffering and pain.
A number of orphans, who have spend years within the walls of Al Amal Institute for Orphans in the Gaza Strip, were met in order to shed light on the sufferings of orphans at the beginning of a new school year.
Ammar Harb,13, from Sheikh Radwan says with innocent smile never leaving his face: "Two years ago, my mother brought us to Al-Amal Institute to complete our lives and continue our study and learn good morals, due to the difficult economic situation, and my mother does not work and there is no source of income for us, so she decided to bring us to the institute. "
"My father is deceased two years ago, and my mother lives with my brothers, we are five boys and a girl and I have two brothers in the institute." he added.
He longingly speaks that he visited every Thursday his mother and saw his family, saying: "I await the end of the week with passion to go to my mother and hug her, I miss her a lot being in urgent need of her affection.
What may make him feel happy in Al Amal Institute, Ammar says, "I was accompanied by my friends," asserting that the Institute provides all needs of orphaned children, especially in occasions and other supplies that needed to school.
It is mentioned that there are approximately 20 thousand orphans in the Gaza Strip, including 120 children are resident at Al-Amal Institute for Orphans, and 500 children are non-resident but only receiving services and assistance from the Institute.
Al-Amal Institute for Orphans, that established in 1949, cares for children, who lost their mothers or their fathers, because they are deprived of the simplest human rights, and all thanks for all international and Palestinian institutions that provide assistance to Gaza children, especially orphans.
Despite moments of happiness and joy experienced by the Gaza Strip's orphans ... However, deprivation and suffering remain in their hearts.
