"On this land, there is what deserves life," a phrase voiced by the great Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish, has become an icon that embodies both pain and hope. They were not passing words, but a cry of conscience refusing to surrender to the cruelty of occupation, hunger, and deprivation. On this land, where resilience is renewed with every dawn, the Palestinian insists on clinging to life, even when life itself sometimes seems out of reach.

Today, Gaza echoes the same cry, proving to the world that no matter how deep the pain, it cannot defeat the will to survive. Besieged Gaza, burdened with disasters and the horrors of aggression, still raises its flag over the rubble, as if to declare that dignity is more precious than anything. From the womb of the siege stories are born, and from beneath the ruins children emerge with smiles that expose the helplessness and silence of the world.

The story of a steadfast homeland The map of Palestine, this proud land, stands as a witness to the defiance of history. It has not been defeated despite repeated attempts to erase it from memory and geography. Every stone in its streets and every olive tree in its fields tells the story of a steadfast homeland and a people unwilling to compromise on their right to a dignified life. It is a land that resists oblivion as it resists aggression, remaining alive in human conscience no matter how much time passes.

The oppression of hunger and deprivation has not broken the Palestinian will, but has made it stronger. The Palestinian who dreams of safe bread, seeks clean water, and longs for a sky without bombs, still upholds the values of solidarity and dignity. In the crowded camps, where space is tight and suffering vast, hope remains a window through which everyone looks toward a better tomorrow.

Dignity, as Gaza proclaims today, is everything. It is not merely an inner feeling but a daily act of resistance in the face of siege and aggression. It is what drives mothers to protect their children despite fear, and what makes the youth stand tall amid destruction. On this land, which truly deserves life, Palestinians continue to resist with love as much as with steadfastness, declaring to the world: dignity cannot be defeated.
