The Women of Gaza Remind Us That Hope Is a Daily Act

As a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas takes hold, I find myself thinking of the women who, even amid ruins, have kept Gaza alive. For them, “the day after” is not a political abstraction or headline—it’s a question of survival, dignity, and whether their children will live to see normal life again.
Amani Mustafa is the Women for Women International (WfWI) Country Director for Palestine, supporting women in Gaza and the West Bank, where she lives. It’s a constant struggle for her to overcome her own feelings of pain, stress and anxiety and channel everything into WfWI's urgent humanitarian response and the needs of women and their families. She pens this opinion piece as the women survivors pin their simple hopes and dreams on the fragile ceasefire that threatens to be undone any minute!
