Memoirs from Gaza

The sound of war is the intense cries of pain from traumatized children. * Child psychologist Catherine Glatz Bruback heard these stories every day as she led a team of community workers at Nasser Hospital in the Gaza Strip in August 2024. “Memoirs from Gaza” is the writings of an aid worker in a war zone, about the stories of the children, parents and colleagues she became close to: Adam, five years old, who became completely isolated after watching his father die. Aisha, eight years old, suffers from severe burns and severe anxiety. Twelve-year-old Rami is almost unable to eat out of desperation over the loss of his parents. Amina, Balosha, and the rest of the Palestinian hospital workers who risk their lives every day to get to work. Diary from Gaza shows the effects of war on people. At a time when international media is denied access to Gaza, the book documents the extreme suffering experienced by all residents of the region. At the same time, the book is a testament to people's will to help each other, especially to maintain hope. It is a poignant human story of resilience in the face of devastating loss.
