A powerful collection of testimonies from Palestinians facing genocide and displacement in Gaza with hope and resistance.
Displaced in Gaza aims
to raise global awareness of how violent displacement has impacted the
lives of Palestinians—students, mothers, fathers, grandparents,
children, educators, and those who already survived the Nakba of 1948.
In Gaza, 2.3 million Palestinians have been subjected to starvation,
mass destruction, and targeted killing. Yet they endure.
This
book is a commitment to the longstanding Palestinian tradition of
storytelling, documenting both the horror of the genocide and the
resilience of the Palestinian people. The stories in this collection are
not merely accounts of suffering, they are assertions of humanity,
resistance, hope, and the unbreakable bond that ties Palestinians to
their homeland.
Displaced in Gaza is a collaboration
between the American Friends Service Committee and the Hashim Sani
Center for Palestine Studies at Universiti Malaya.
“Displacing people in Gaza has become forcibly normalized. Some Palestinians have been displaced twenty times. The stories in Displaced in Gaza are a must-read.”
–Ahmed Abu Artema, Palestinian poet, journalist, and co-founder of the Great March of Return
“Displaced in Gaza presents an essential collection of
real-life testimonies that challenge the narratives justifying the
current erasure of Gaza and its people. In the Gaza Strip, where nine in
ten Palestinians have been displaced since the events of October 7—some
as many as ten times—these personal accounts humanize the staggering
numbers. These stories remind us of our shared responsibility to ensure
that the lessons of history and the pledge of ‘never again for anyone’
apply to Palestinians, as well.” —Laila Mokhiber, Senior Director of Communications at UNRWA USA
