When I visited Gaza in 2019, what struck me most wasn’t the destruction – it was the life.
Now, @WeAreNotNumbers has published its first book: powerful essays by young Gazans (2014–2024).
$15. A youth-led project. A way to see Gaza beyond the numbers.

Ali Abusheikh from Gaza is one of the most inspiring young people I know. He’s back in Doha after months stuck in Gaza & is now job hunting (PR, digital comms, advocacy, coordination). Brilliant writer, kind soul.

Huge thanks to my supervisors @Fernanda_Pirie and Dennis Rodgers, to the amazing Anthropology Editor at NYU Press & to the anonymous reviewers whose feedback helped me reach this stage. Finally, my most profound gratitude goes to the youth who welcomed me into their lives.
