Palestinians in Gaza have spoken publicly as parents, patients, medics, neighbors and journalists while hospitals were attacked and families uprooted. Their voices belong alongside the records of the governments and institutions whose decisions shaped these experiences, without turning their lives into illustrations of a policy table.
These films, interviews and recordings remain with their original publishers. This collection also preserves accounts from the occupied West Bank and the earlier history of Palestinian displacement, with each experience identified by its own place and date.
Content note: Some accounts discuss injury, the deaths of loved ones and violence against civilians. Video playback is optional and does not start automatically. This site has not conducted these interviews and does not rehost their recordings or photographs.
These companion features follow Palestinians speaking about water, study, family, animals and medical care. Each article credits the person and the organization that published their account, and links directly to the original.
