Le speranze e i sogni di un popolo che intravede all’orizzonte le luci della pace.

Il recente conflitto tra Gaza e Israele, nonostante l’attuale tregua, si è contraddistinto per l’elevato numero di civili caduti. Ben 10.000 persone sono rimaste ferite e molti piccoli hanno perso i loro familiari a causa di una guerra sanguinosa e inutile.
Si stima che più di 400.000 bambini mostrino segni di disagio psicologico, l’UNICEF sta cercando di aiutarli formando più di 12.000 insegnanti per fornire il supporto di cui necessitano, sostenendo programmi psicosociali.

L’UNICEF, all’interno di questo programma di recupero, ha chiesto ad alcuni bambini di Gaza di disegnare come immaginavano il futuro della loro terra.
I loro disegni mostrano un mondo senza violenza, pieno di speranza e di una vita nuova senza la guerra, questi lavori catturano i sogni di un popolo che intravede all’orizzonte le luci della pace.

Aya’s home was destroyed during heavy bombardment in Gaza’s Shishya neighbourhood. The worst thing about war, Aya says, is “the people who got killed in the street.” (Yosef © UNICEF/NYHQ2014-1440/d’Aki)
