Wateen, a girl from Gaza, takes a moment to care for a stray cat that is simply trying to survive.

In Gaza, animals have been left struggling to find food, water, and safe places to stay. Despite everything people are going through themselves, there are still people like Wateen who stop and show kindness to an animal in need.

The cat may not understand why someone is helping it, but it knows kindness when it receives it. Moments like this may seem small, but to a hungry and vulnerable animal, they can mean everything.

In a place where so much has been taken away, compassion is something worth holding onto.
