Ziad: "[Because of the war] I learned to be responsible and to not take anything for granted. There are things that I used to believe in and now I don’t and the other way around. I used to trust some people and now I don’t.

"Young people are affected by the war. They even play the role of Israelis and Palestinians in their games. They know what Fatah and Hamas are. They know what a sniper is. In other words, they are deprived of their childhood.

"I hope we learn our lesson from this war and understand that we have to unite."
