Mariam says that she found out about the situation in Gaza when her sister called her and asked Mariam to read the news.
– How are we going to help them, I don’t know and it makes me hopeless, says Mariam.
Mariam tries to keep in touch with her family often but they don’t always have access to the internet.
– When I see that they read what I write, I feel calm, they are alive, she explains.
Mariam shows pictures and explains the great devastation. Many places she herself visited with her children this summer are now razed to the ground.
