Part of the aims of this war

is to make you feel like you're worthless.

You’re just a person.

The world doesn't care if you live or die,

if you get food today or not.

I'm thinking of my house.

My neighbour told me yesterday that

a large part of my house was bombed.

I have so many memories in that house.

But I also think of the people

who were in their homes when it was bombed.

And I think of the thousands of children

that I see, sleeping on the streets at night

even during the day.

I think of their futures.

What will happen to them?
