I am eyad...I’m not afraid of the bombing; I’m afraid of dying from hunger.

I’m tired of waiting… tired of the pain… tired of living like I don’t exist.

Please help me live… and share my story so others can hear.

Your support and sharing can save a life.

This silk turban, likely made in either eastern Afghanistan or the Swat Valley in Pakistan, was worn by men for ceremonial occasions. It consists of vibrant geometric patterns, curves, and colorful fringe detailing at the ends. This turban was expertly embroidered using surface satin stitch to strategically conserve the amount of silk. As a result, the decorative silk embroidery is displayed mostly on the front of the cloth leaving the cotton base on the backside more exposed since it would be hidden when worn. The designs on this turban follow the elaborate Phulkari type of embroidery commonly seen in Swat textiles.

I don't know how long this will last, but all I hear is: Iran, Israel, America... as if Gaza doesn't exist, as if the world has forgotten the people suffering there.
