٠٠:٠٥:٣٩Volunteers from the Save Youth Future Society hosted Eid al-Fitr celebrations for children displaced from northern Gaza in Deir al Balah on Friday.
Footage shows the volunteers organising recreational activities for the children, including singing, dancing and face-painting in a camp at the Islamic Call College.
“Members of the Save Youth Future Society came to organize psychological relief activities for children amid the ongoing war on Gaza City,” a volunteer said
“Despite the displacement, the pain, and everything that we have been through, we still want to convey a message to the world that there is always a candle of hope amid darkness,” she continued.
Tala Abu al-Laban, a displaced child from Jabalya, expressed her gratitude to the non-profit group for organising the event and said she hopes for the war to end soon.
"We have the right to live like the rest of the world's children. We have the right to live our childhood in peace," the girl added.
Save Youth Future Society (SYFS) is a non-profit organization established in 2001 that aims to develop young people's potential and enhance Palestinian communities.
In an official statement issued in April, the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics announced that children under the age of 18 constitute 47% of the total population of the Gaza Strip.
Fighting in Gaza between Israel and Hamas is currently in its seventh month. The Palestinian group launched an unprecedented attack on southern Israel on October 7, killing 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and kidnapping over 200, according to Israeli officials.
Israel declared war on the group and a 'complete siege' of Gaza, with a large-scale campaign of air strikes. A ground incursion began at the end of the third week, with Israeli leaders vowing to 'wipe out' Hamas. Palestinian officials reported that at least 33,634 people had been killed and 76.214 injured at the time of publication.
The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) claimed that Hamas locations and infrastructure were targeted in the response. However, United Nations experts warned against 'collective punishment' for the people of Gaza, before predicting a 'humanitarian crisis' and then claimed that 'hell is settling in' for the region.
