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

I witnessed the aftermath of Israel’s strike on Shuhdaa Alqsaa Hospital, where fire left behind unimaginable horror.

For many, the attack on Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital left both the living and the dead beyond recognition.

The world has become accustomed to the mass killings in Gaza. But if you work in a hospital, each one is a nightmare.

A family took refuge in Kuwait School, then Israeli shelling destroyed nearly everything. Yet dreams survive.

Hospital staff who heroically work to save lives are themselves not immune from death, injury, and trauma.

Forced to flee, then wounded by shrapnel, a 12-year-old girl in Gaza wonders why she has to live with such pain.
