Displaced in Gaza is a collection of personal testimonies from Palestinians in Gaza who have been repeatedly displaced within their homeland since 7 October 2023. These testimonies were collected in May 2024, commissioned by the Hashim Sani Center for Palestine Studies at Universiti Malaya. Displaced in Gaza aims to raise global awareness about the violent and forced displacement inflicted upon Palestinians in Gaza by the Israeli military and the impact that this displacement has had on every aspect of their lives. Each story is unique, yet the endurance of the Palestinian people remains a common thread, linking together these stories of hope and loss.

pain and agony, and we cried from our helplessness and
inability to provide assistance, medication, or relieve her

were crushed with pain. This is our mother whom we
love dearly, whom we do not want to lose, and who loves
life and wants to continue it with us in good health."

Displaced in Gaza – The Israeli Occupation Steals the Dreams of Palestinian Students
For more please visit AFSC.org
"Three years ago, I began working towards my dream of enrolling in university and studying the English language, which I love. I reached the third level, and I only had one year left until I obtained my bachelor’s degree in English from Al-Aqsa University. But the Israeli war stopped everything in Gaza. The occupation bombed and destroyed universities and schools, depriving us of our right to education."
