Born into a family of ten in a Gaza neighborhood where concrete crumbles under airstrikes and childhood dreams blur with nightmares, Alijla tells the story of a life shaped by war, lifted by love, and driven by a hunger to survive and to speak.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTold through intertwined voices, his own and those of his mother and sisters, \u003cem\u003eFearful in Gaza\u003c\/em\u003e offers a vivid portrait of a family enduring the unendurable. We meet a mother who defies tradition to educate her daughters, who fights daily for dignity in the face of occupation, patriarchy, and grinding poverty. We meet a boy who works street corners and construction sites, sleeps amid gunfire, and ultimately claws his way across borders in search of freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut this is not simply a tale of escape. It is an act of witness. With lyrical, unflinching detail, Alijla brings to life the textures of Gaza: the scent of za'atar at breakfast, the sea that both haunts and heals, the aching bond between those who stay and those who go. It is a book about exile and memory, but above all, about the fierce love of a mother and her son, and the stubborn hope that persists when all else falls away.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt once a personal memoir, a family chronicle, and a piercing social history, \u003cem\u003eFearful in Gaza\u003c\/em\u003e is a profound meditation on resistance, belonging, and the enduring human spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Abdalhadi Alijjla\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 194365722X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781943657223\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vita\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 354\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.04lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.79d","brand":"Abdalhadi Alijjla","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47761729552639,"sku":"9781943657223","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b451917a-9c9a-406b-b0b4-953ddcf2a144.jpg?v=1765515378","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fearful-in-gaza-abdalhadi-alijjla-9781943657223","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
