Description

Throughout the course of Israel’s twenty-two-day military offensive in 2009 at the Gaza Strip 1,300, mostly civilian, Palestinians were killed, with many thousands more injured. Once again, the Palestinian Community lay in ruins. Regardless of the Israeli authorities’ try to shut out aid workers and the media from the conflict zone, NORWAC (the Norwegian Aid Committee) succeeded in getting some of its envoys into the heart of Gaza City, including two doctors: Mads Gilbert and Erik Fosse. For some time, the two were the only Western eyewitnesses in Gaza. This book is an account of their experience Throughout sixteen harrowing days from 27 December 2008 to 12 January 2009. Every chapter covers just at some point, as the reader follows the doctors’ journey through the ravaged city, treating local Palestinians and hearing their stories. Hailed by the influential Norwegian newspaper Klassekampen as ‘the most productive book of 2009’, this shocking yet sober account sheds much-needed light in this up to date chapter of one of the vital prolonged and complex conflicts of our time.
