A simple housemaid with dreams of breaking a curse over my family, I had no idea that missiles would fall from the sky before hope could rise from the ground. Now, trapped under the rubble of a collapsed building, with my body crushed and only one hand able to move, I write-because if these are my final moments, they will not vanish in silence. This is not just a story about politics or power. It's a story of a mother who only wanted to give her five-year-old daughter a better life. A story of dust and broken bones.
