"We cried with my mother every time. She cried from

pain and agony, and we cried from our helplessness and

inability to provide assistance, medication, or relieve her

pain. My mother suffered all the time, and our hearts

were crushed with pain. This is our mother whom we

love dearly, whom we do not want to lose, and who loves

life and wants to continue it with us in good health."

My Mother Returned Home to Die: The Injustices against Elderly Patients in the Gaza Strip is written by Ali Al Owisi and narrated by Irish Parliamentarian and lifelong Palestinian Rights Activist, Richard Boyd Barrett.

"Three years ago, I began working towards my dream of enrolling in university and studying the English language, which I love. I reached the third level, and I only had one year left until I obtained my bachelor’s degree in English from Al-Aqsa University. But the Israeli war stopped everything in Gaza. The occupation bombed and destroyed universities and schools, depriving us of our right to education."

Mohammed Altaweel

Narrated by actor, comedian, satirist, activist, and member of the Global Sumud Flotilla, Tadhg Hickey.

"I am currently the mother and father to my children.

My family and my husband’s family are in Gaza City. I

live alone with my children; I always accompany them.

We go to the bathroom together, and we go to receive

the small food basket every ten days together. I’m afraid

to go down to the school yard, thinking I may be killed

by the occupying forces’ shelling."

Somia Issa Mustafa Saleh

Displaced in Gaza is a collection of personal testimonies from Palestinians in Gaza who have been repeatedly displaced within their homeland since 7 October 2023. These testimonies were collected in May 2024, commissioned by the Hashim Sani Center for Palestine Studies at Universiti Malaya. Displaced in Gaza aims to raise global awareness about the violent and forced displacement inflicted upon Palestinians in Gaza by the Israeli military and the impact that this displacement has had on every aspect of their lives. Each story is unique, yet the endurance of the Palestinian people remains a common thread, linking together these stories of hope and loss.
