While we lamented at the visuals of unimaginable destruction, loss, and unsurmountable pain, there were people living that reality. Men, women, and children with plans for the weekend and dreams to fulfill; many wrapping their chores early to take a walk by the sea. Millions of such diverse individuals who were now only spoken of words wrapped in tragedy; all merged into one. Surviving war isn't a blanket experience; there are many facets which remain unheard. This collection is pertinent in bringing focus to the diverse human stories behind the crisis, the emotions that rang loudly in the silence of the night, when the shutters went down and the dust had settled. Throughout the year, 30 people living in the Gaza strip, of varied ages and ethnographies, penned their feelings, fears, memories, thoughts, and hopes on the tempestuous days of war. Each story is a reminder of the world held within every person and how humanity at large was at stake with them"0 aArab-Israeli conflict.0 aArab-Israeli conflict.vPersonal narratives.0 aGaza StripxHistoryyBombardment, 2023-0 aGaza StripxSocial conditionsy21st century.7 aHistory.7 2lcgftaPersonal narratives.1 aAl-Zaqzooq, Mohammed,eauthor,ecompiler.1 aAlshaer, Mahmoud,eauthor,ecompiler.1 aAbu Saif, Atef,ewriter of introduction.  2ddccBKn0  00102ddc40708NON-FIC (BK)aMEDINIbMEDINIcGENd2026-08-26eBOOK CHANNEL PLTl0o956.943 LET 2025 c.1p00001765r2026-08-26t1w2026-08-26yBK  c1513d1513
