by Plestia Alaqad (Author)

En su narración sobre la invasión israelí, Plestia Alaqad «transforma el dolor en poesía (Rupi Kaur).

En octubre de 2023, la palestina Plestia Alaqad acababa de graduarse y soñaba con ser una periodista de éxito. Poco más de un mes más tarde, las publicaciones en las redes sociales en las que narraba cómo era su día a día en plena invasión israelí la habían convertido en Los ojos de Gaza y conmovían cada día a millones de personas de todo el mundo.

Este diario, que comienza antes del primer bombardeo y termina con el alto el fuego de enero de 2025, recoge los horrores de aquella experiencia. Desde el epicentro de la agitación, mientras las bombas llueven a su alrededor y dan paso a la devastación, Plestia es testigo de las emociones, de su comunidad, de sus generosos actos heroicos y de los momentos de inesperada ternura y vulnerabilidad en medio del caos.

Colocando en primer término la honestidad y la vulnerabilidad de una mujer de veintiún años en mitad de una tragedia humanitaria, este libro es un valioso recordatorio de los horrores de la violencia y un increíble testimonio de la resiliencia humana. Relata una experiencia desgarradora, pero no es un lamento desgarrador. Es, más bien, una íntima y delicada carta de amor al hogar de una chica: demolido ante sus ojos pero siempre presente en su corazón.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

In early October 2023, Palestinian Plestia Alaqad was a recent university graduate dreaming of a career as a journalist. But by the end of November, her homeland was unrecognizable--and she was broadcasting videos of violence and destruction to millions online, known across the world as "The Eyes of Gaza."

On the morning of October 7, 2023, 21-year-old Plestia Alaqad wakes to a flurry of messages and headlines: Gaza under bombardment. Civilians flee waves of Israeli strikes. In a few short days, she and her family will be at the epicenter of a violence that is all too familiar for Palestinians--but this time, she knows, things will never be the same.

A series of diary extracts from the weeks following October 7, The Eyes of Gaza is a gutting, on-the-ground record of the turmoil and destruction endured by the men, women, and children of Palestine. As Alaqad flees from neighborhood to neighborhood, from hospital to hospital, she documents all she sees--the destruction of beloved homes, the waves of bombs, and most of all, the boundless bravery and generosity of her people--all the while trying to memorize the faces of those around her "so somebody will have known them before the end," wondering if, one day, her own journal will be discovered amidst the rubble.

A document of the indomitable Palestinian spirit, told through the voice of one ordinary young woman, The Eyes of Gaza is a tribute to Alaqad's beloved Gaza, a paean to the courage and endurance of Palestine, and a manifesto of hope for its future.

Author Biography

Plestia Alaqad (Jan Yunis, Palestina, 2001) es periodista y poeta. Sus testimonios difundidos en redes sociales durante la invasión de Israel la convirtieron en una voz de vitalidad dentro del caos y la destrucción en Gaza. En noviembre de 2023, a medida que los combates se intensificaban, Alaqad y su familia se vieron obligados a abandonar la región. En 2024 fue una de las 100 Mujeres del Año para la BBC, recibió un reconocimiento como defensora de los derechos humanos por parte de Amnistía Internacional en Australia y el premio de Periodista del Año de One Young World.
