In early October 2023, Palestinian Plestia Alaqad was a recent graduate with dreams of becoming a successful journalist. By the end of November, she would be internationally known as the 'Eyes of Gaza'. Millions of people would be profoundly moved by her social media posts depicting daily life in Gaza amid Israel's deadly invasion and bombardment. Written as a series of diary extracts, 'The eyes of Gaza' relates the horrors of Plestia's experiences while showcasing the indomitable spirit of the men, women and children who share her communities. From the epicentre of the turmoil, as bombs rain around her and devastation grips her people, she is witness to their emotions, their gentle acts of quiet, necessary heroism and the moments of unexpected tenderness amid the chaos.
