Why I’m Coding for Gaza’s Truth

Yo, I’m ridwaanhall—coding by day, memorizing Quran by heart—who else but me? Gaza’s crisis ain’t just a headline for me; it’s a call to debug the biggest bug: injustice. Growing up in Pondok Pesantren, I learned fairness is non-negotiable, Surah by Surah. Now, as a coder, I’m wiring that hustle into something real.

Let’s talk facts: since October 2023, 42,000+ lives have been lost in Gaza—kids, families, dreams. Over 1.9 million people, 90% of the population, are displaced, scraping by in tents. And 60%+ of homes, schools, hospitals? Gone. These aren’t my numbers; they’re from OCHA and UNRWA.

Why do I care? Pondok taught me to stand for what’s right, no matter the stack. Coding taught me to solve problems, whether it’s a Django bug or a crisis screaming for truth. Gaza’s not just data—it’s people fighting for dignity. That’s why I’m curating resources like WHO’s health reports or B’Tselem’s raw stories.

Here’s the deal: you can help. Donate to UNRWA—they’re feeding families right now. Share this post on X to cut through the noise. Or dive into a book like “Justice for Some” by Noura Erakat to get the full picture. Every move counts.

This blog’s my code for Gaza—built with faith, facts, and grind. Pesantren gave me roots; AI gave me tools. Together, let’s push for hope, one step at a time. Who’s with me?
