Book on Gaza

Stories I Couldn’t Let Die: Shadows of Gaza by Salem Medhat Alaydi. Dianne Monroe, the Jewish author of the introduction of this book of Salem’s Instagram postings, will spoke of her grandmother who suffered under the Nazis in Holland and why she tries to help Salem and his family.  “I’m Salem. I’m 18 years old, and I’ve spent my whole life in Gaza. My home was destroyed in 2023, and since then I’ve been living in a man-made tent. Through everything, the bombings, the hunger, the endless days of fear I’ve carried my cell phone.”
