Gazze: Bir Soykırımın Hikâyesi

Gaza is no longer merely the name of a place; it is a deep wound opened in the memory of our age. A wound that holds beneath it the blood and tears of thousands of children. The book you hold in your hands brings together the voices rising from within that wound — a wound the entire world has witnessed, minute by minute, unfolding before its eyes. It records lives carried on under bombardment, loss, resilience, and a truth that others have sought to silence.

Today, Gaza is home to the largest population of child amputees in modern history. In the span of just a few months, thousands of children lost limbs; hundreds were directly targeted and killed. The accounts of doctors and witnesses on the ground make clear that this was not incidental destruction, but a systematic practice of annihilation. As international organizations have also established, what has unfolded in Gaza is not the result of a temporary military operation, but the product of a long-term policy aimed at destroying the conditions of life for a civilian population.

This work was prepared not only to document what happened, but to prevent it from being forgotten. Written by poets, novelists, academics, and those who witnessed the events firsthand, these texts recount hunger, forced displacement, the targeting of hospitals and schools, and the step-by-step destruction of the land, animals, and everything that makes life possible.

This book is the result of a shared effort of conscience, bringing together writers, editors, and publishers from different geographies. What is told across its pages speaks not only to the memory of the present, but to the memory of the future as well.

AA Kitap presents this work to you, our valued readers, not to cover the wound, but for those who have the courage to look at it, those willing to remember, and those who choose not to let it be forgotten.
