This book narrates stories from Gaza written during wartime, the aim being to document the voices and narratives of its victims and as a contribution towards highlighting the lives of ordinary people at a time of the ongoing genocidal war on Gaza. The book complements the role of the Institute for Palestine Studies in documenting that genocidal war from various perspectives.
The texts in this book acquire their importance from the fact that they deal with stories and narratives of genocide by giving voice to its victims who are still living its horrors. They wrote down or voiced their ordeals despite the fact of their daily preoccupation to stay alive. These are narratives that cannot be found in the media or any social network, and have thus far remained hidden beneath the rubble of buildings and burnt out tents. Accordingly, they are the truest expression of the realities and horrors of this ongoing genocide.
