Nour Abo Aisha
A journalist, writer, and freelancer living in the Gaza Strip, Palestine. She is also a translator and literature student. Her articles have appeared in Prism Reports, Mondoweiss, We Are Not Numbers, and The Guardian.
Nour loves life, cooking, and dancing, but was forced into a reality far removed from the things she cares about.
“I once dreamed of a vibrant youth full of achievements, love, flowers, and candlelight. I imagined a phase in life rich with meaning on every level. But this war took everything from me. Still, it taught me a lot. It taught me what it means to live each day as if it’s your last, to hold on to the smallest details around you. Life can disappear in the blink of an eye and turn into nothing but memory. I document what’s happening in Gaza with a free voice, from the margins. We, the people of Gaza, are not just numbers.”—inner pages, I Am Not a Number

Hot Off the Press
We’ve recently released another stunning, devastating, and heart-opening zine. I Am Not a Number is a collection of seven articles, written by Nour Abo Aisha and published in leading media outlets throughout the year. The titles of these writings correspond to the twists and turns of Apartheid Israel’s genocidal tyranny in Gaza:
I dedicate my work to the innocent souls of Gaza’s martyrs whose lives were taken unjustly, without reason or mercy.
