We Are Not Numbers: The Voices of Gaza's Youth is Out Now!

“This moving and powerful collection of Palestinian voices from this groundbreaking community of writers is a victory for the human spirit in the face of some of history’s darkest forces" Matt Kennard

We Are Not Numbers began as a storytelling platform co-founded by our host at Palestine Deep Dive, Ahmed Alnaouq, following Israel’s assault on Gaza in 2014.

Aiming to amplify the voices of the youth of Palestine and provide a space to share their stories with the world, We Are Not Numbers really has been a victory for the human spirit and a jail break.

Ten years on and thousands of published pieces later, this collection brings together some of these essays and poems, offering an unparalleled insight into life in Gaza over the last decade (2014-2024).

Many of these writers have endured unspeakable struggles and losses at the hands of Israel’s ongoing genocidal onslaught, but keep fighting to be recognised not as numbers or statistics, but as human beings with hopes, dreams and lives worth living.

It is our duty to listen to them, and hear their stories.
