‘Gaza, it breaks my heart to see you in this state’: three stories from young Palestinian writers

These stories from Eman, Lubna, and Aya offer a glimpse into the struggles and resilience of the people of Gaza. From Eman's determination to preserve the historic buildings of Gaza, to Lubna's entrepreneurial spirit in starting her own business, to Aya's pursuit of her dreams despite the challenges of war and displacement, these women exemplify the strength and tenacity of the Palestinian people. Their stories also highlight the devastating impact of the ongoing conflict in Gaza. The destruction of homes, the displacement of families, and the loss of livelihoods are all too common in this war-torn region. Yet, amidst the chaos and uncertainty, these women continue to fight for a better future for themselves and their communities. As we read their stories, we are reminded of the resilience and courage of the people of Gaza. Despite the challenges they face, they continue to persevere and strive for a better life. Their stories serve as a powerful reminder of the human spirit's ability to endure and overcome even the most difficult circumstances.
