Malak's story

14 year old Malak’s character (an alien visiting Earth for the first time) spoke these lines as part of the remote play ‘Welcome to Earth’ https://youtu.be/exAksvIsWD0

“I don’t think humans on earth are so bad. I’m lucky!! I’ve seen nice good people. Farmers grow crops. Teachers teach children at school. Doctors help sick people…

A few days ago we received this heartbreaking message from Malak..

‘Imagine, we evacuated our house in Beit Hanoun on the first day, and Beit Hanoun was completely destroyed. Then we went to my grandfather’s house in the city and the occupation sent messages to us that we must evacuate and go to Southern Gaza because Gaza city is being completely destroyed. The situation is very bad. I hope that I stay alive’
