As the war drags on, many Palestinians, like 48-year-old Mohamed Khaleel Al-Zaneen, are grappling with a growing sense of hopelessness. Once deeply tied to his land, Al-Zaneen has seen his world turned upside down, with the destruction of both his homes in Beit Hanoun and the loss of family members in the conflict. The emotional toll is compounded by the physical devastation, leading him to reflect on his desire to rebuild even in the face of overwhelming losses. The notion of survival in such crushing circumstances seems to fade with each passing day.
