Gaza Genocide Survivors Story: This is an eye-witness account, the story of a Palestinian in Gaza, a human being, a 24-year-old medical student, his real human life of love and loss, and a human testimony of war crimes perpetrated by the Israeli government and the military in the deadliest campaign of bombings and mass killings in recent history.
The story goes like this: for years, locals near the rivers, in absence of proper waste management facilities, dump household garbage (which include large amounts of plastic) right into the river, thinking that the water will carry it away.
The evening of September 8 at The Daily Star Centre saw an outpouring of verses to a live and very interactive audience. Daily Star Books and SHOUT jointly launched our series of Slam Poetry Nights an evening, every month, of verses recited in the spirit of creative freedom.
