emerging writers from Palestine tell their stories and advocate for their human rights

Asmaa Tayser Dwaima

  • Gaza Strip

Asmaa Tayser Dwaima is a Palestinian writer, poet, artist, and dentist. After being displaced multiple times since October 2023 and sheltering with her family in southern Gaza, she recently relocated to London to pursue a Master’s degree in public health. Though she survived the war with her body intact, she continues to grapple with its remnants in words and poems. Her work explores loss, resilience, and identity, bearing witness to the enduring strength of the Palestinian people and their humanity amid ongoing conflict.
