We Are Still Here is a powerful anthology that amplifies the raw, unfiltered voices of Gaza’s university students — young people who continue to study, write, and dream amid unimaginable loss.

Through poems, letters, and personal reflections, these students bear witness to their lives under siege: to displacement, starvation, and the destruction of their homes and universities. Yet, within every page, there is also resilience, courage, and the unbroken will to live and be heard.

More than a book, We Are Still Here is a heartbeat, a cry, a testament — an act of literary resistance against erasure. Each contribution reaches across checkpoints and borders, carrying the students’ words “into the hearts of the world.”

This collection stands as a living record of a generation’s endurance — documenting their pain and humanity, but also their unshattered hope. Every purchase directly supports Gaza’s students, helping them to continue their education and rebuild their futures.
