## Resource

An eleven-year-old boy named Aboud, who lost his leg in a Gaza attack while helping his mom at a tea stall, defied despair by learning to ride a bike and play the oud — only for Israeli forces to seize his instrument. Journalist Fergal Keane stepped in to help recover it, spotlighting the resilience of Gaza’s Edward Said National Conservatory of Music, which has long used music to heal amid war. After their main building was destroyed and instruments lost — including Gaza’s only grand piano — students continue lessons in tents and on beaches. Despite devastation, the school was honored for its cultural healing work, and Aboud received a new oud — calling it the best gift ever — a tiny but powerful symbol of hope.
