Description
“I Was Yafa: A Child’s Diary from Gaza” is not just a book — it is the voice of a child the world refused to hear.
Written as a week-long diary, this powerful and deeply emotional narrative tells the story of Yafa, a 9-year-old child living under Israeli bombardment in Gaza. Through innocent eyes and trembling words, Yafa brings readers into his reality: starvation, shattered homes, lost siblings, crushed dreams… and the lies told about them on global news.
But this is not fiction.
Yafa is a mirror of every child in Gaza — the boys digging through rubble, the girls dying with crayons in hand, the little ones who never made it to tomorrow.
This book is a tribute to them — and a confrontation with the world that allowed it.
From the hunger lines to the broken masjids, from laughter in tents to death under drones, “I Was Yafa” is both heartbreaking and unforgettable. A story for every person who refuses to stay silent.
Written by Taha Kh, this book is a legacy of truth, memory, and resistance.
For Gaza.
Forever.
