Red book cover with photo of Ezideen Shehab. DIARY OF A YOUNG DOCTOR Notes from the genocide in Gaza Ezideen Shehab Pull quite: ‘I am no longer a doctor. I am a witness. To the slow murder of dignity.To a land where medicine is a cruel joke and survival is a sin.' Pull quote: ‘How did we come to this? How did we become a people the world no longer believes are fully human? Is it because our blood is too cheap? Or is it because the world has learned to look, and then to look away? If so, then it is not we who have lost our humanity. It is you.’ From Diary of a Young Doctor by Ezzideen Shehab 'Written under siege and in the shadow of unrelenting violence, Dr Ezzideen Shehab's words carry both the clinical precision of a doctor and the searing intimacy of a witness. These are writings of unbearable clarity, carved out of catastrophe, that will not allow the world to look away?’ Sara M Saleh 'What a privilege to read these words from a brave and compassionate witness to Israel's genocide in Gaza. When language is often insufficient to describe the daily horrors, Dr Shehab conjures a world of grief, resistance and unimaginable resilience. Read this book.’ Antony Lowenstein

What is happening in Gaza is genocide. This is not a battle of equals or a proportionate response. It is a bombardment of an open prison. Nothing justifies the actions of the state of Israel.

I say this while supporting Jewish people and condemning anti-Semitism, Islamophobia and Hamas violence.

Still on a high after #writearoundthemurray - days of workshops and presenting to engaged, smart students, moderating a kidlit illustration panel and drinking in ideas, stories, songs and precious time with other AMAZING writers. Thank you #WAM23!

I’m new here, so I’m hiding my shyness behind one of the writing greats.
