An urgent and compelling study of Gaza from one of the region's most experienced journalists
REVISED AND UPDATED EDITION
'A brilliant and incisive account of this tiny, vibrant, but embattled enclave… a must-read.' Jon Snow
October 7th, 2023. Hamas and other militant groups invaded southern Israel. It was the day that changed the face of the Middle East.
Since then, the two million Palestinians living in the Gaza strip have been under constant siege. With the daily threat of Israeli airstrikes and lacking food, water and basic medical supplies, tens of thousands have died.
Uniquely imprisoned, even in times of relative peace, most Palestinians in Gaza cannot travel beyond the confines of the Strip – in times of war, escape is impossible. They live under total blockade – economic and armed – and yet so many remain courageous, outspoken and steadfast.
Donald Macintyre, the Independent's former Jerusalem bureau chief, lays bare Gaza's human tragedy and reveals how it became a crucible of conflict and a byword for suffering. He identifies the repeated failings – including those of the international community – that have let countless opportunities for peace pass by. Impassioned and expert, Gaza is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of the region and the future of Palestinian statehood.
