As the conflict rages on with little hope for resolution, individuals like Fadaa Abu Saleh express their longing for the simple joys of home life. Even after evacuating nearly a year ago, her desire to return and sit in her home reveals the resilience and yearning that persists amid the chaos. Her struggle captures the essence of the human spirit—the wish to reclaim familiar comforts, reconnect with family, and restore lost sense of normalcy. While the roads ahead remain uncertain, hope remains an essential part of the collective yearning to heal and rebuild.
