A teenage girl fears her roof will collapse, while a young student dreams of visiting libraries worldwide. Another youth notes buildings she wishes to repair. These narratives emerge from Gaza, where young people endure the hardships of Israeli occupation and blockade. They strive to be recognized not as mere statistics but as individuals with aspirations and lives worth living. Founded in 2014, We Are Not Numbers amplifies the voices of Gaza's youth. This collection, spanning over a decade, offers profound insights into the past and the present, showcasing the next generation of Palestinian leaders, artists, and scholars while envisioning a hopeful future. 'A vital book . . . a profoundly important literary event' - CHINA MIEVILLE. 'A brilliant collection of voices that lays bare the struggles and suffering of ordinary young Palestinians' - MONICA ALI. 'We Are Not Numbers is not just a book — it's my life, their life, and our shared story' - MOTAZ AZIZA. 'A rebellion against the singular story' - MOHAMMED EL-KURD.
