“When the military forced us to flee, the first thing I thought about taking with me was my library.”⁣ ⁣ Amid widespread destruction across Gaza, one displaced resident made it his personal mission to rescue history from beneath the rubble. From 70-year-old volumes printed before 1948 to rare cultural archives, priceless books were routinely being burned just to keep fires lit for cooking.⁣ ⁣ Determined to save Palestine's cultural memory, he gathered what remained and turned to social media to start a public library.⁣ ⁣ #VoicesOfGaza #Gaza #Palestine #Culture #Heritage #Books
