A coastal civilisation open to the world. A flourishing port on a
major international trading route. This was Gaza’s past. Can it be
its future?

its future?
Today, Gaza is home to a uniquely imprisoned people, most unable to
travel to the West Bank, let alone Israel, where tens of thousands
once worked, and unable to flee in wartime. Trapped inside a
crucible of conflict, the surprise is that so many of them remain
courageous, outspoken and steadfast.

From refugee camps to factories struggling under economic
stranglehold and bombardment, Donald Macintyre reveals Gaza’s human
tragedy through the stories of the ordinary people who live and
work there. He portrays the suffering through siege and war, the
failings – including those of the international community – that
have seen opportunities for peace pass by and the fragile,
lingering hope that Gaza, with its creativity and resilience, can
be part of a better future for the Middle East.
