Amjad is a 15-year old child. He is living in Al-Zahra Town, southern Gaza city. Amjad's father is Palestinian, and his mother is Spanish. Five years ago, the family settled down in Gaza. Amjad is suffering from stuttering in his speech that increases when his peers in school or street make fun of him. He says:

"I don’t get out of my home unless for urgent necessity, and sometimes I pay for my young brother to buy what I need. I am being at the utmost of my tension when I start talking with others. When I began stuttering, I notice others laugh and comment with things that really hurt me. I have no friends because I cannot go well with them. Can you imagine how painful it is for me? But the more tormenting is the electricity turn off that usually lasts for long hours, and sometimes it turns off for 48 continuous hours under the pretense of siege imposed on Hamas-led government in Gaza. The electricity turn off preventing me to use the computer which compensate me the friends, instead. When I talk to the computer, it doesn’t ridicule me as I'm so good in using it.

What pains me more is that I don’t find enough water for drink and shower in summer since we couldn’t fill the water tanks unless by using the water pump that runs only by electricity. I don’t know how to spend my time without electricity. One day, I decided to practice any sport in near club, yet I was shocked to discover that I have to affiliate to a political faction in order to be able to enter the club. Clubs like mosques are political. However, I hate all political factions. All of them are hypocrites and don’t think but only in their narrow personal interests. Everyone is thinking deeply to keep his position regardless his people's terrible conditions.

I decided not to get out and wait until the electricity turns on. Yet, I keep alarmed all the time, so I beat my brothers and insult them. This is, in turn, destabilizes my relation with my parents, though. I'm not satisfied with anything in this country. What can I do? You imagine how all these problems make me forget my own problem, as it hurts me more. Can my immigration into my mother's country solve my problems…!?"
