do you have any idea what it feels like to witness people marching in the streets carrying their deceased loved ones that have been pulled out from under the rubble, people crying out for change, strangers resuscitating strangers. heart wrenching and agonizing to say the least

you can find a few of his poems translated in English online but I don’t believe his book is translated! you can try other Arab authors though like rabia al basri, mahmoud darwish, and Adonis! Good luck 🌹

as someone living in gaza, I can confirm this whole thread. the sound of drones are constantly above us, and mentally draining. sometimes we don’t get sleep for days because it’s all we hear
Did anyone of you watch any live coverage of Ghaza during the last few days and....heared a weird buzzing sound?
