7:36 am
a palestinian refugee camp in lebanon, in an in vitamin that is filled with a child abuse mental illnesses and ongoing clashes. in 2020 a huge explosion happened in the city of killing a key twin keys. 200 people. and that's one me and my family we decided to move to ukraine. and that was our 2nd time moving to crane because back in 2006, we moved to ukraine after the war between israeli and lebanon occurred in 2006. we moved into ukraine just before the war started in one year. we decided to start a new life a more peaceful life. so we have been living in ukraine for a whole year in a peaceful mood in a peaceful and peace of mind. and that's when the worst started around one year ago . and we had to keep the work for the 2nd time in our life, and becoming at effigy for the 2nd time in my life. and that is being seen in
7:37 am
wreckage in lebanon. and now you, cranium, refugee was i, i mean, i can imagine that your life has been marked by loss, by displacement, by occupation, so many times. and yet you seem so, so resilient, i want, i want to know, you know, what does this anniversary of the invasion mean to you personally? the 71st city reminds me of my story because this is not the 1st time dad me and my family had to go through a war, had to go through so much violence. and we hadn't been living in an environment with so much violence around us. but yet it keeps on reminding ghosts of that is sitting in that we have within us. and that's why we always share over story. because our story reminds us of how humans we are or how positive entries. lillian re can be. and because of my mom's positivity that has been con, pages on our family and on the whole community we're living in remind ourselves of
7:38 am
that is the unions that we have and we do fight, we fight. but in a more peaceful way, we fight with over words. we fight with our resistance. and that's how rhys wife and zoe. i'm curious, you know, you mentioned that 1st you were a palestinian refugee living in lebanon again, a ukrainian refugee now living in europe. i can imagine those 2 identities, perhaps you were having very different experiences in terms of adopting and being welcomed. ah, could you, could you just share with us a little bit about what that contrast is for you when i was sharing my story in switzerland, i have been up this question, what's my opinion and attitude regarding this? and i do show that i'm stuck in between because of the police union refugee in lebanon. i was denied of a lot of frights. i wasn't allowed to work despite the fact that i graduated with might have been nice friends. just because i didn't have the to beneath popcorn and
7:39 am
now be coming to switzerland and just in 10 days i was able to have and received good right to work. and that really makes me wonder and was like from one side i had been living as a police canyon refugee who was denied from a lot of fries. and now as a ukrainian refugee, i was more privileged. but then this is something i was sharing with my switch from the woman who had hosted us for 3 months and the house we were sharing and talking about this. and we do recognize that in human psychology that people in europe are more compassionate to ukrainian. but this is something just next door to them, but also that doesn't mean that humans. we should be helping everyone out, including post unions and to cranium. no, i'm not so well articulated. i mean, i have to also ask you, i'd be remiss not to ask you, it seems like the world, despite the enduring circumstances,
7:40 am
young people in ukraine are going through. there's a lot of support for the resistance. there's support generally in the world for the resistance. the right to resist and ukraine as a palestinian, i'm wondering when you see the opposite in many instances, true seems palestinian resistance being criminalized as an ambassador for this young one young world. what, what, what do you want the world to know about refugees in general and those who are facing occupation? of course. so as refugees, i want the whole world to know that refugees are not tattered to refugees. all the resist with the power that they have, for example, if dependent kenyan refugees don't have gone, they do quite with stones. and this is something i have learned as a politician refugee in dublin, and we had always taught with our power, with resistance and our education with the means that we were able to fight with. and now as you're training and refugees,
7:41 am
we also fight. and that's how we survive. we continue to fight the peaceful way, white and most definitely. and joining this conversation, also with us is alexandra come in years, a peer to peer counsellor with teen energizer, a leading mental health support network that's taken on a lot of extra work. as you can imagine during the war. could you tell us about what teen energy, teen energizer? am i saying that correctly? i hope so. is and what did you, what is actually doing and how you got involved? me? i hello everybody. and this is united europe. and so one of our our nation's
7:42 am
work in all the faction and violence and i follow the organization unit in june. my thought and then from there i, you, i haven't been you know, i were showing some people and some of the images of what your organization is doing. and i also want to share with people more about what you've been doing. some photos that you've been posting from your social media showing your support for the troops. look at this one here. really, i want to know what this anniversary means to you and where you think your resistance and the work that you're doing is most impactful. it's very nice because i know tomorrow we need to
7:43 am
know. i mean tomorrow be as soon teen him for me. if so, i think they need to be made for me in my book to be in that situation and you know, i wonder when you hear some of what she was saying they're like sondra and other young ukrainians. you've spoken to. obviously everyone has a very different experience. what something you really want people to know about what it's been like, particularly for young people. yes, of course. i always say every single person has a unique story to tell,
7:44 am
and that's why i am working on a story telling project with other piece ambassadors from one your world. and we're trying to bring the stories of fractured cheese and displeased people and migrants from all around the world to sure about their stories and be their own story tellers. because i do believe that the stories that to be our south presumption, now the ukrainian refugees we altogether, we carry a lot of pain inside us and a lot of similar struggles. and i do believe that the struggles and all this pain could be transformed and be out peaceful what weapon for all of us. and it's very important to sure our story in a more powerful way because i do believe that now they use the ukrainians. everyone who are still there in ukraine and everyone who managed to escape the work, i do believe that everyone is carrying a lot of pain inside them. and this pain should be seen as a power. this pain should fuel us to be doing
7:45 am
a lot of positive changes for ukraine and toward the world. and, you know, we wanna bring more young voices into this conversation from ukraine. we have marco who was a 17 year old student who talks about his hope, but also the real toll that this is taken on him personally. take a listen. it was an incredibly stressful. ready experience overall because suddenly i was, i was alone and in a city that i've lived all of my life in and i felt like i knew no one because you know, my, my classmates, they were no longer here. some of them are still in europe. very few came back and i felt so isolated. i wonder what comes to mind? alexandra zaya when you, when you see him speaking there and in the context of the different generations.
7:46 am
i'm sorry, the different generations here. what's the experience like when you talk to your older ukrainian, our brothers and sisters? of course. oh, this is something that i can relate to and might calmly. for example, my crown paw, i gather scar. he said the new crane and we always talk about the war and its impact. and i do believe this innovation now that generation that is leading the change and all these initiatives by the youth, by the young people in a way, we are receiving a lot of wisdom from the older generation. and we need doth, we need their power. we need their knowledge, we need this wisdom from them in order to all this wisdom, shield us in a way to better create the project that we are working on. and so i think that their motivation to do all what we are doing in the youth comes in a way related to the help that we are receiving from the older generation that
7:47 am
people who had already experienced a lot in their life. and, you know, we also have a video that was sent to us by anna. anna is the head of young women piece builders . she talks to us about sort of the burnout that she experienced. all this work that you're doing, you know, fighting as you say, advocating on, takes its toll as well as we've, i said, take a listen to what anna sent us. emily in the last year. i can definitely say it's been a difficult and tiring year. now we are facing the slow down in our activity since people aren't getting tired of combining full time jobs. we have the full time volunteering. and some of us are still pursue in our a degree similar tennis lee and talking about women in particular. we all face hours of non paid to work at home, which also affects the amount of resources we may allocate to meaningful volunteering. but i hope for the best and i hope we ever braids here in the you
7:48 am
activity in the nearby future. so alexandra, i mean you heard there, i can imagine you can relate to some of those mental health challenges and just being exhausted. what can you share with us about how you stay positive and optimistic? oh, i know how to do these. and i tried to write to mind my ideas how to b g. so i try to go out and use not all did the i try to read it in. yeah. because it's the very all the time that i
7:49 am
use and oh my head and i want to, i saw that. so if you wanted to add something, but before you do, i want to share with our audience. i'm a rave essentially a clean up brave that took place and you can take a look at this and we'll talk about it on the other side. so ah, with sorry about video, certainly harnesses the power that you were talking about. not just of resilience,
7:50 am
the power of just getting up and continuing. what can you share with us? what did you want to add after all, sandra's yes, i do relate to what alexandra assured. and i truly believe that people are tired. people are exhausted. whether in ukraine or outside ukraine, in my community, where i live in switzerland, people want to go back home. they just missed their home because it's not easy at all to be a living in a country. and then out of a sudden because of award because of the violence because of people dying, they needed to go out and escape to a c friend vitamin for their, for their children, for the purpose of having their children and a more peaceful environment. it's not easy, old people are tired and we do half pain inside of that the same time i do see hope as well. and that's what is reflected in that easier. but i also do believe that in order to do all the work that we are doing in order to bring peace to the world, we need to bring peace to ourselves pers. because everything that we do on the
7:51 am
outside, it's the article reflect to what we have inside of. and in order for us to bring a better positive change in the world, we need to take of our mental health and something that i also can't remember and to call and reflect as well is the survival guilt. when we escape the word in ukraine, we didn't hear that we are going to somehow because we survive because just few days after i escaped the war, i saw a woman and 2 children who were lying on the ground dead with their dog. and i could imagine what if that was my family, what if that was me and i think the survival goes in a way it's fuels, all the things that we are to lingle everything we are trying to achieve in a way. because we survived put at ethan. i think that that ethan of our survival, to bring the best for the ukranian people and for the world. so zoe, i'm also curious. i mean, you know, if i'm not mistaken, a russian family,
7:52 am
a russian, excuse me. good. a russian lady i should say, actually helped you move from poland to switzerland and there was so much kindness along the way. is there any takeaways that you've, you've learned throughout this experience or some, some challenges you, you think are worth highlighting of your personal journey? yes, i always say that kindness is the thing that saved me and my family and starting in ukraine, we had the texas driver who made sure that we are right to the train station when we wanted to escape ukraine. and he went back because he was a man who's above 18 below 60. he had to stay in the country and applied for a work, took hours to revive and, and that was the 1st act of kindness from a man who went back to fight with the work. and then when we escaped to poland, we were hosted by a family for 4th already and we wanted to move to switzerland and that's when the russian lay divided tuna and her family. they would have very kind of else she
7:53 am
called me and she asked for she, she was story because of the war because everything that was happening. but of course she was so kind to us. we accepted her house and she managed their tweed each, switzerland in a very safe way and then in switzerland also where we were hosted by our swiss family that we call right now the shore men. we were host it for 3 months and a half who gave us a lot of positive and safe space for us to express our pain. so i always say the kindness of the people is the thing that saved me and my family. because with their kindness, with their genuine act of compassion, where you were able to regain all this positivity and resistance that we do have now. and i just want to share with you people on social media and in our youtube chat, sending you a lot of support. this is a tweet coming in saying the story of a young girl, palestinian ukrainian palestine in refugee. she lived in lebanon, then as a ukrainian she is living in europe twice the drama experience of being
7:54 am
a refugee. so certainly, just clarifying for our audience that you're really a voice of authority on this issue of refugees. and so that i wanted to give you some encouragement there are people agreeing with a lot of what you're saying i, i am curious, alexandra, you know, if we think about it, it feels like the war for me from where i'm sitting started just yesterday and i'm wondering, you know, obviously it's been a year. don't misunderstand me. but i'm curious on this one year we heard from zaya time moves fast. what are you hoping for the future? what are you looking forward to? and yeah, what's your main hope? i i agree yvonne is then need to really and i hope this isn't b b m and i am proud of my god. oh i in
7:55 am
my family, i routed volunteers and my whole eat me. i'm doing and i want to ask you about your own hopes, but before i do, i would be remiss not to share because you talked about that graphic image that you have to see of the family with the dog laying on the floor. and i want people to know that there are also a lot of young ukrainians who are, you know, we're supposed to continue on in life and graduation. and there's this site called an issue diploma. as you can see here, this is one of them chronicling all of those people who were supposed to graduate, but didn't. this is dina. this is, you know, and it talks about, in this case, load a mirror, what he wanted to do, you know, and it's kind of an, a model to the memory of the people weren't as lucky as you, of course,
7:56 am
as you said. and you were able to get out when you think of these people who lived in these people's stories. what is the way that, that, you know, best to, to, to kind of make sure their memory lives on. and that this war didn't happen in vain . if you will, i mean, are you optimistic that this war will end soon? this is something we can hope for, and it's very painful to read about those story. and to see that the people had a lot of dreams, who had a look of hopes for the future. these people, they were children, they were daughters, they were sons, they were fathers, they were siblings. and we should always remember their stories. and that's where i always say, that's it powered, were the storytelling? come because through story telling me, are able to show that pain, we are able to share those struggles. it's very important to remember in order for the history not to repeat yourself. and i want to talk about the hopes,
7:57 am
and this is something i remember when we escaped the war last year and we were in the train going to poland. we were in one cabin with 12 other people, a children and 4 adults. and we were saying good bye to the soldiers who were left behind. and my mom, we were so worried we were very anxious because at any moment we were afraid that we would get bomb. and my mom said, why don't we start singing? and with that's when we started to sing ukrainian national anthem, ukrainian folk songs. and that's we're, we received a lot of power. we felt all that resistance. so i do wish you there is hope i do see that we are able, with our positive attitude to create something beautiful out of all those hope and tragic. and i'm at home and i love your talking about hope and, and being grateful. nonetheless, i want to share with our audience one more voice, echoing some of what you said and nicole odd, 22 year old student from kia. take listen. hey, yeah, the last show. yeah,
7:58 am
sure. what the most. i think i'm happy because life goes on and you can't be ungrateful for the fact that i can sit here that i can talk to you, that i can live on with my life. you already could have died thousands of times, but you didn't get to. thankfully, you just appreciate what you have and you can't help it be happy about it. i can be sad because of some memories, moments in my life. but i can't say that i'm not happy with the postal. joy, alexandra, i want to thank you for taking the time to join us. best of luck on your journey is and will definitely be staying in touch with following you along the way. thank you to you at home for watching and be sure to follow us at stream dot al jazeera dot com. ah mm
