Read more testimonies from Gaza

Abdalaziz: “Of course I understood what occupation meant, and how it worked, but what I didn’t understand is, why Palestine?”

Hazem: “Israel’s siege severely impacts education in the Gaza Strip. Education requires an environment that stimulates children to innovate in different areas. However, in Gaza, most families cannot provide a decent life to their children because of their economic hardship.”

Wiaam: “We are an unarmed people: education, and the power of justice are our weapons to liberate our land.”

Abdelrahman: “This is my story, this is our story, the story of the devastation we face, the story we cannot forget.”

Haidar (pictured): “I have witnessed three huge massacres committed by apartheid Israel, almost lost my life more than once, lost very close comrades, colleagues, relatives, and students. I have lived through an indescribable, ongoing trauma, and seen horror beyond words.

Hayat: “The memories of my children’s childhood, all those happy moments; everything that belonged to me, all the hard work over a lifetime; all of this was buried under the bulldozers of the occupation, just in a few seconds.” (Abu Taher)

Anonymous: “I cannot describe the horrors I saw as people were crawling to escape and the shelling was chasing us, hitting some who were killed. If you were slow to run, death would be your certain destiny.”
