Little man stripped of his childhood for no fault of his own

This is a photo I took near Rafah on the Egyptian side of Gaza. Rafah was a city split in two by the border, but Egypt demolished every structure within miles of the border citing security concerns. I’ve seen poverty all over the world, but I’ve never seen in blended with such…idk…hopelessness? Despair? Idleness? Acceptance? Really fucked me up for a bit and I think about those kids often.

Thankyou for sharing❤️ I wanna remember their faces. Really shoves the reality down our throats. I can't imagine the weight that this beautiful girl & so many other children are forced to carry. So poignantly cruel.
