we are not numbers

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

Younes El-Hallaq

    I am a Palestinian writer from Gaza, majoring in English literature. I am also passionate about studying linguistics and hope to obtain my master’s degree in discourse analysis.

    My objective is to excavate and reveal the social-political troubles that lead the Palestinians and many other refugees to fight and rebel against the situations and to suffer. I will do this through personal or journalistic writing, expecting to ascertain the solutions for those people who are not numbers.  My interests include  language and news media, swimming, playing tennis and football, and traveling.

    Bio current as of January 2024.

    After Israel’s May 2023 war in Gaza ended, the world moved on. But for people here, the terrible memories linger.
