The act of evacuating one’s home is extremely emotional. Palestinians have a few minutes to pick up their belongings, important documents, food, water, and to decide where to go. Family memories cannot be carried in a handbag or suitcase. Photo albums and similar personal items must be left behind.
AFSCs new anthology, Light in Gaza, imagines the future of Gaza beyond the cruelties of occupation and Apartheid.
