Gaza: The Story of a Genocide is an urgent and powerful collection of personal testimony
poetry photography art and frontline reportage. Together these works bear witness to the
vast and ongoing destruction inflicted on the Palestinian people—their lives their land and
their future. Ahmed Alnaouq recounts the devastating loss of twenty-one family members. Noor
Alyacoubi offers a searing reflection on starvation. Mariam Barghouti examines the brutality of
Israeli settler violence in the West Bank while Eman Bashir describes the phenomenon of a
"wounded child no surviving family." These voices among many others illuminate the enduring
psychological physical and generational toll of state violence. With contributions from
recipients of the Palestine Book Award Arab American Book Award Pulitzer Prize Emmy Award
National Book Award and Gandhi Peace Award this collection also honors the late poet Hiba Abu
Nada—killed in an Israeli airstrike on her home in Khan Younis Gaza on October 20 2023. All
royalties will be donated directly to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) for
Palestine Refugees in the Near East.
