WHO ARE THE PEOPLE BEYOND THE WALL? When I first entered Gaza - in 2005 - I was afraid. I didn’t know what to expect. I only knew Gaza from the news and from stories. Who were the people living there? What did they think? what did they feel? What would I encounter? Between 2005 and 2018 I went on yearly visits to give trauma healing to young people in Gaza and got to know them very intimately. In the last ten years I also got to know Israeli people very well, and many became my friends. But I realized they didn’t know their ‘neighbours’ either. Just as me, they had no clue who was living beyond the wall. They always asked me curiously how it was on the other side of the wall. After a lecture, someone even confided to me: ‘I am a bit ashamed, but I never realized there were childeren living in Gaza.’ For them, and for all the people who want to know who lives in Gaza, and what happens there, this book is for you. Read it, and get to know the people who live ‘beyond the wall’.
