Palestinian artist Fathi Ghaben passed away yesterday at the age of 77, at Shuhada al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir al-Balah, while awaiting permission from Israel to leave Gaza to receive proper medical care.

Fathi was born in the village of Hirbiyya, just outside the strip, in 1947.

Together with his family, Fathi was displaced in 1948 and ended up in Jabalya refugee camp, where he lived until his passing. Where Hirbiyya used to be, now stands Kibbutz Karmiya. Just imagine living as a refugee your whole life while your original home is just 10km away.

"A Child’s View from Gaza" was an art exhibition showcasing drawings created by the children of Gaza.

"The captioned illustrations were created by Palestinian children who lived through the Israeli bombardment of Gaza in 2008-09. The pictures were drawn as part of an effort to help children deal with the horrors they had experienced. A Bay Area nonprofit, Middle East Children’s Alliance (MECA), arranged to display a collection of these pictures at the Museum of Children’s Art in Oakland, California. However, under pressure from the Jewish Federation of the East Bay and other organizations, the museum backed out of the agreement at the last minute."

Palestinian author from Gaza, Hiba Abu Nada, wrote on Facebook days before she was killed by an Israeli strike:

نحن في الأعلى نبني مدينة ثانية، أطباء بلا مرضى ولا دماء، أساتذة بلا ازدحام وصراخ على الطلبة، عائلات جديدة بلا آلام ولا حزن، وصحفيون يصورون الجنة، وشعراء يكتبون في الحب الأبدي، كلهم من غزة كلهم. في الجنة توجد غزة جديدة بلا حصار تتشكل الآن.

Translation:

We, high above in the skies, are building another city filled with doctors without patients or blood, teachers who aren't yelling at students in overcrowded classrooms, there are new families without pain or sorrow, there are journalists capturing heaven, and poets writing about eternal love - all of them are from Gaza, all of them. In heaven, there is a new Gaza without siege forming now.

Naji Al-Ali wrote: “The child Handala is my signature, everyone asks me about him wherever I go. I gave birth to this child in the Gulf and I presented him to the people. His name is Handala and he has promised the people that he will remain true to himself. I drew him as a child who is not beautiful; his hair is like the hair of a hedgehog who uses his thorns as a weapon. Handala is not a fat, happy, relaxed, or pampered child. He is barefooted like the refugee camp children, and he is an icon that protects me from making mistakes. Even though he is rough, he smells of amber. His hands are clasped behind his back as a sign of rejection at a time when solutions are presented to us the American way.“

Handala was born ten years old, and he will always be ten years old. At that age, I left my homeland, and when he returns, Handala will still be ten, and then he will start growing up. The laws of nature do not apply to him. He is unique. Things will become normal again when the homeland returns.

I presented him to the poor and named him Handala as a symbol of bitterness. At first, he was a Palestinian child, but his consciousness developed to have a national and then a global and human horizon. He is a simple yet tough child, and this is why people adopted him and felt that he represents their consciousness.”
