I’m pleased to share this 27.2.26 article by Alaa Dmeida, a twenty-year-old English Literature student at the Islamic University of Gaza, and a writer who discovered her passion for writing and telling the stories of the oppressed in Gaza.

I also recommend this 13.2.26 article by her twin sister, Amna Dmeida, a 20-year-old English Literature student at the Islamic University of Gaza, and a writer who found herself between the lines, discovering her passion and strength through writing-telling the lived stories of Gaza and showing the world that Gazans are individuals with dreams and details, not just numbers: Gaza in the New Year: Countdown to Death, Not Celebration.

Peace & Justice, MAA
