Eleven-year-old Mukhtadi Jalul is among thousands of children in Gaza whose days begin not with school or play, but with the search for basic necessities like water at displaced persons camps.

Water is scarce in Gaza, and securing it is a daily priority for families. For Jalul, the routine follows a devastating loss: more than a year ago, an Israeli air strike killed his father and older brother, ending his once-happy childhood and forcing him to focus on survival.

"More than a year ago, after my father and brother passed away, I felt like I had suddenly grown up. I had to take on the responsibility of caring for my mother, older sister, and younger sister," he said.

"Although Jalul is only 11 years old, we all call him 'the man of the family'," said Muhammad Jalul, the child's uncle.

To supplement his family's income, the young Jalul sells ice smoothies between tents during the day, earning a meager income.

He once dreamed of becoming a doctor or engineer, but his hopes of changing his destiny through knowledge have been all but dashed. In Gaza today, the vast majority of schools have been destroyed in the bombings.

"We were so happy back then, but now all we have left is sand and ruins. We live in tents, and the heat is unbearable. We really wish we could go back to the past, when we could study in peace, live happily and play freely," he said.
