'The Tent', by Lana Nedal and narrated by Amy Jackson, is an insider's view into the very existence currently endured by Gaza's population. It is a study of canvas and poles, a window onto a life lived from one day to the next, where nothing is taken for granted.

Our latest poem from #Gaza: "From the Rubble She Spoke" by Sama Shaheen, read by Indira Varma.
A tribute to the author's home, to memories founded within once safe walls, a future lost among the rubble. A home that lived & breathed. A place to be mourned.

A heart-rending reflection of the pain borne by those living through the genocide in Gaza, 'Silent Bleeding' by Sama Shaheen speaks of the devastation inflicted upon a population, of futility, of screaming into a void and bleeding in silence.
Listen to Alana's narration free:

That feeling when:
One of our friends in Gaza, offline for two weeks, surfaces today having been displaced to the south.
Our joy restrained, our relief tempered because displacement is, as she puts it, like having her soul removed.
Even so she's all heart emojis.
That's the Palestinian way.
