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

Dalia Abu Ramadan

  • Gaza Strip

Dalia Abu Ramadan is a senior at the Islamic University. She lives in Al-Rimal, a city in the north of Gaza that has been besieged and severed from the south. Today, she is trapped in her grandfather’s home, unable to leave for fear of being killed; she survives on hope and faith. She hopes that her narrated experiences in the north of Gaza provide a window to the suffering of the people in the most abandoned and dangerous parts of Gaza.
