A cry for the children of Gaza

Ara Llibres joins the ACTxPALESTINE campaign with the publication of A Cry for the Children of Gaza, a book edited and coordinated by Txell Feixas and Cristina Mas with texts by Greta Thunberg, Fermin Muguruza, Beatriz Lecumberri, Omar El Akkad, Jordi Évole, Santiago Alba Rico, David Fernàndez, Rima Al Qattawi, Jordi Armadans, Alejandro Pozo, Najwa and Sonia Elemare, Marta Venceslao, Andrea López-Tomàs, Dominique and Elizabeth Salomon, Laila Serra and Maria Zreiq, Ahmad Al Farra, Raji Sourani, Maria Fernàndez and Rafeef Ziadah.

“On the Strip, children are bombed before they have time to open like a flower, and dreams are hunted down before they have time to be born.” This is how Palestinian photographer Fadi A Thabet describes in these pages the suffering of the children of Gaza, which he captures with his camera to “document life on the edge of death.”

However, this is not a temporary humanitarian crisis: the trauma is massive, and the impact of the tragedy will endure for generations. For this reason journalists, experts and witnesses from within —writing amid the bombings— focus their gaze on the terrible situation of the children of Palestine.

The present and future of an entire people. A book that is a collective, conscious and firm cry to denounce the genocide and open paths toward hope, freedom and lasting peace.

The cover illustration is by Maisara Baroud, a visual artist from Gaza, and belongs to the Instagram series I’m Still Alive(@maisarart).

All profits from the book will go entirely to Palestinian organizations working on the ground. You can find more information in the 'collaborate' section.
