About this book

Summary

Fearful in Gaza is a haunting and deeply intimate memoir that weaves the personal and the political into a lyrical tapestry of life under siege. Through the interwoven voices of a son, his mother, and his sisters, Abdalhadi Alijla traces his journey from a war-torn childhood in Gaza, where fear was as constant as the sea, to exile and fragile freedom in Europe. This is not just a story of bombs and borders, but of a mother’s quiet defiance, of a boy’s yearning to belong, and of the enduring ache of memory. With poetic clarity and emotional precision, Fearful in Gaza gives voice to those who live where the world’s conscience falters, and refuses to be silent.
