Gaza Stories shares Raghad Suleiman’s heartbreaking experience amid the Gaza genocide. A 17-year-old high school student, Raghad’s life was shattered on October 7th. The bombing forced her family to flee, but even in displacement, they were not safe. Her home was destroyed, and over 50 relatives were killed. The hospital she fled to for treatment […]
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 […]
Sundus Zaqout on Survival, Loss, and the Work of Memory… When Gaza Stories are told, the first images are often ruins and statistics. But sometimes a single voice lifts above the dust. “I woke up under the rubble thinking I was dreaming,” says 27-year-old Sundus Issam Atiya Zaqout. In that suspended moment—between sleep and the […]
Gaza Stories begin in ordinary places—a school desk, a kitchen table, a quick run to the corner store. For 17-year-old Fares Omar Shaheen, it began at the meat counter of a mall in Nuseirat. He had come to buy groceries for his family; he left without a leg, scorched by fire and pulled to safety […]
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. He watches the war and waits for messages to land through broken networks. He counts the hours his father spends alone in the […]
When Dr. Abdul Rahman Al-Farra speaks, his voice carries both memory and mourning. “They targeted us at home, and they targeted us in the tents,” he recalls. “It was not just destruction. It was extermination.” His words are part of a growing body of Gaza Stories—living testimonies that reveal the deliberate targeting of Palestinian families, […]
The story of Radwan Abu Maamar is a painful reminder of the horrors endured by the people of Gaza. Radwan is the sole survivor of his family, whose lives were tragically taken in the war that ravaged Gaza. His testimony, shared with Witness Eye, offers a deeply personal and raw account of survival, loss, and […]
This is one of those Gaza Stories where survival itself becomes both a wound and a duty. Some losses don’t just change a family; they rewrite the very meaning of survival. For Muhammad Abu Nada, survival means carrying the memory of his father, two brothers, two sisters, and relatives who were killed when their home […]
In the crowded streets of Sheikh Radwan, Gaza City, one Palestinian family once lived a life of closeness, warmth, and ritual. The Orouq home was more than walls and a roof — it was a sanctuary where multiple generations gathered daily. “Our house,” recalls journalist Abd al-Rahim Orouq, “was my father’s life’s dream. He sold […]
The third part of Gaza Stories – A Test for Humanity: When Law Collapses reminds us that wars are never only about battlefields. They are about memory, erased villages, and the silence of doors locked for a return that never came. Dr. Wissam Atallah’s testimony brings this to life, showing how the story of Damra—renamed and […]
The streets that raised her are now a map of absences. In these Gaza stories, names become coordinates, homes become dates, and a life splits into a before and an after. Zahra Al-Rantisi remembers both with painful precision. Before October 7, she was behind the camera—filming for local outlets, collecting certificates, learning to turn light […]
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 […]
The morning felt ordinary—bag on his shoulder, tablet in hand, midterm notes open on the bus. But what followed became part of Gaza Stories, lived by Laith Arafat, a final-year medical student counting down months to graduation. Halfway to campus, the driver suddenly hit the brakes, turned the bus around, and started back the way […]
The streets of Beit Hanoun no longer echo with childhood laughter. In these Gaza stories, every corner of the city tells of bombardment, every wall carries scars of shattered lives. For journalist Hossam Shabat, Beit Hanoun is both his birthplace and his prison. “I was born here, my father was born here, and our family […]
The war in Gaza has lasted over 620 days, leaving behind more than just physical destruction. Entire generations are being marked by hunger, displacement, and deep sorrow. Among those who carry both grief and duty is Dr. Wisam Atallah. He is a legal scholar and a political researcher. But he is also a victim of […]
The call for justice is not only a question of international law; it is part of what Gaza Stories reveal — a demand rising from the ruins of families, schools, and hospitals across the besieged strip. In testimonies like that of Professor Nabeel Jumah, Gaza Stories remind us that people are not only victims of […]
When the world looks at Gaza, headlines often focus on the numbers of the dead. Yet behind those figures are thousands who are still unaccounted for — the missing. Their absence haunts families, leaving them trapped in unbearable uncertainty. In his testimony and work, researcher and advocate Ghazi Al Majdalawi, head of the Palestinian Center […]
When everything moves too fast to feel real, there are moments that make us stop, breathe, and reflect. Here’s something that truly matters—Dr. Rinad Al-Majdalawi’s journey is one of loss, survival, and the emotional scars left by the war in Gaza. Her story is not just another tragedy; it’s a reminder of the lasting human […]
