Members of the We Are Not Numbers team frequently partner with other organizations to offer virtual tours of their neighborhoods in Gaza.
One of our partners is the UK’s Amos Trust. For example, on Feb. 3, our members Asmaa Tayeh and Ola Al-Asi showed online visitors around Jabalia Camp, the largest of eight “camps” in Gaza. It covers 1.4 square kilometers and is home to 114,000 people! Asmaa and Ola provided a glimpse into the residents’ daily life, introduced participants to some of the locals and took them into the market. The guided tour lasted for 15-20 minutes and then Asmaa and Ola took questions.
We also partner with Eyewitness Palestine. Our first tour with the organization was to Al-Shati camp. Our second partnership features WANN members Aya Alghazzawi and Mohammed Rafik touring around Gaza City to see historic places like the Al Basha Palace, Great Al Omari Mosque and Church of Saint Porphyrius. The dates: Feb. 4, 7, 9, 17 and 20.
Again we partnered with Amos Trust and did a second virtual tour, but this time in the historical sites in Gaza City, such as al Omary Mosque, Al-Thahab (Gold) Market, Al-Alami’s house, and Al-Hasary herb shop. The tour was led by Hussam Abushammalh, Zina Rizq, and Hind Al Wihaidi , three of our writers. The date: May 2022
