My newborn son has no home — only a tent.

My son Kenan was born just days ago through a C-section.

Instead of a safe home, we brought him back to a small tent in Gaza. That is where his life begins.

No nursery. No safety. No stability. Just fabric walls and uncertainty surrounding a newborn who should only know warmth and care.

His siblings were overjoyed to meet him for the first time. That moment of happiness was real — but it exists inside a reality that keeps changing without warning.

We are doing everything we can to protect him, but no child should have to begin life in these conditions.

As a father, I never imagined I would be writing these words at the moment my son was born.

Even the smallest support or sharing this message can truly make a difference for my children.

Every act of kindness matters more than words can express.
