Bread and Blood: A Reading with Samah Zaqout in Gaza

Join us for a reading with Samah Zaqout in Gaza.

My name is Samah Zaher Zaqout and I am a Gaza-based Palestinian living under the current “war.” I wrote this piece, “Famine, Fear, and the Fight for Bread” to shed light on what we are experiencing here, especially in Northern Gaza where we are experiencing the most difficult conditions.

A little about me: I am a writer, translator, and teacher. I graduated from the faculty of Arts, English literature, as one of the best students; I was a student of the late Dr Refa’at Al-Areer.

I write about life in Gaza. I have published some of my pieces on outlets such as Electronic Intifada, We Are Not Numbers, and Politics Today. I have also participated with my writings in some events and books abroad.

I am partnering with Eyewitness Palestine on an exciting event.
