AHMED

Ahmed had a happy family in the war-torn city of Aleppo. Parents and a 4 year old sister Ayesha. Ahmed is six years old. Although the school is closed because of the war, Ahmed and his sister go to Shahzadi's house next door to study. Shahzadi educates many such children for free.

Ahmed's father works in agriculture. A fairly prosperous family. Every night two brothers and sisters fall asleep listening to their mother's story.

Ahmed's mother loves Ahmed very much. But little Ahmed did not understand that love did not last long.

Ahmed & God

One night, Aleppo residents were woken up by a bomb blast. Ahmed finds himself under the pillars of a broken house. The whole house was destroyed. Ahmed tries to get out but cannot move. Father and mother and sister are all around. But there is no response from anyone anywhere. Ahmed cried out in pain.

What is also known as War Child?

Once Ahmed lost consciousness after being tired. About seven hours later, a group of volunteers found Ahmed. They thought that Ahmed was dead. But one of them told that Ahmed was alive. The child is moving, she runs to Ahmed. and finds that he is alive.

Ahmed was brought out after many attempts. Although Ahmed was pressed under one pillar, it fell on Ahmed's body in a way that another pillar did not press on Ahmed's body. So Ahmed was not injured much. The rescue team sent Ahmed to the nearest health camp.

What is the trauma of war children?

Little Ahmed only found his parents and younger sister around. They are nowhere. Ahmed cries. Crying all the time. A nurse tries to comfort Ahmed. But Ahmed cannot contain himself. He recovers and returns to his home. There is nothing but rubble there.

Ahmed sat next to the wreckage and just cried. A law enforcement officer found Ahmed and brought him to a shelter. Where there are hundreds of boys and girls like Ahmed.

The volunteers of this shelter try their best but providing food in this war-torn country is a very difficult task. Not everyone is able to give as much relief as they can. Still, they try their best.

Little Ahmed understands in a few days, how painful life is without parents. No food on time. No matter what you add, hunger is not quenched. Lack of sleeping place, water, everything. Little Ahmed cannot accept this lack. She sits quietly and cries. Mother,,,mother,,,,,where are you? I am dying mother. Dad you come,,,,I am very hungry dad,,,,they don't give me food dad.

Ahmed wants to escape from the camp. But little Ahmed can't escape. Ahmed was defeated in the battle for food. Ahmed does not find a good place to sleep. Water shortage. Ahmed's chest bursts with thirst, not even a drop of water.

Ahmed cries,,,,does God hear this cry? Pele why does not come to Ahmed? why not give food

Does not God see all, hear all? So why not see Ahmed? Why not come to Ahmed?

Various complaints of God accumulate in little Ahmed's mind.https://rawstory24.blogspot.com/2024/02/ahmed-story-of-all-children-lost-in-war.html
