Uses data and visualizations to map the scale and pattern of civilian deaths. Witness Eye and the Gaza Tribunal use these maps to present evidence in international forums.
When Gaza Stories set out to document the lives torn open by war, we expected grief and testimony; we did not expect the quiet, precise cadence of a surgeon explaining how a house “broke like a biscuit.” Dr. Ali Hassan Al-Nuwairi, 33, had built a life of rounds and operating rooms—an orthopedic specialist trained at […]
The first thing Ahmed tells me is where his family is rooted: the sand-colored lanes of Sheikh Radwan and the coastal strip everyone calls as-Sudaniyya. Before the war, that geography meant routine—factories humming, deliveries coming in, brothers arguing about prices and deadlines. “We’re a commercial and industrial family,” he says, not as a boast but […]
The first thing you hear is a name said softly: Abdul Rahman Al-Hamdiyat. He sits far from Gaza, a master’s student in new media, eyes held by live feeds that don’t blink.

Among these stories is that of Rana Abu Maammar, a young academic who returned to Gaza after years abroad, only to lose almost her entire family in what she describes as […]
The call always came before the sun. “Wake up, wake up,” her mother would say, breathless with joy, letting the sound of mosque takbeers and the wind through the window spill into the receiver. On October 7, Hanadi Siyam woke to that voice again. “She made me live the moment,” Hanadi tells us. “Her voice, […]
Gaza Stories are often told through numbers—casualty counts, destroyed homes, statistics that flash on screens and then fade with the next update. But numbers cannot carry grief. For Waseem, living in exile, every number has a name: his mother and three sisters. They were his mother and three sisters, women who had built their lives […]
