Heba Ali

A graduate of the Faculty of Arts, Department of English Language, at Al-Azhar University in Gaza.

“In a world where every breath carries the weight of longing and loss, I found refuge in letters and a homeland in words. Experience sculpted my voice, teaching me that pain, when woven into language, becomes a bridge to human hearts.

Here, where the air is heavy with both betrayal and hope, I write to carry my people’s suffering on the wings of truth—raw, urgent, and unafraid.

Through words, I reach out to every soul untouched by indifference, offering our story as a pulse that refuses to die.”
