‘Red gold’: Gaza’s lost treasure
There is no more strawberry crops, no more Strawberry City. Israel has completely destroyed them.

There is no more strawberry crops, no more Strawberry City. Israel has completely destroyed them.

Israel has bulldozed the fertile area of Mirage, destroying Gaza’s ability to feed itself and sentencing the people to a slow death.

My family’s sanctuary from urban life was destroyed, but the land remains and we will rebuild.

Men working at sea faced grave dangers from Israel before October 7. Since then, the risks have only increased.

My family will replace the trees destroyed by Israeli missiles, but we cannot reclaim the years spent nurturing them.

Gaza is home to hundreds of unsung heroes. Among them are the fishermen who sail out every day and risk their lives.
