About

Birds of Gaza is a community art project for children to craft unique birds to remember every child killed in Israel's war on the Gaza. Through the power of collective art we're highlighting the atrocities that have led to over 6,500 children (and counting) being mercilessly killed.

Things that inspire us

This girl in Gaza who's dream is to fly. Taken from Mohannad Aburizk "Dreams of Gaza's kids"

“I wish children didn't die. I wish they would be temporarily elevated to the skies until the war ends. Then they would return home safe, and when their parents would ask them: "where were you?", they would say: "we were playing in the clouds"

Ghassan Kanafani

This thought on birds flying in flocks.

“Oh rascal children of Gaza,You who constantly disturbed me with your screams under my window,You who filled every morning with rush and chaos,You who broke my vase and stole the lonely flower on my balcony.

Come back,And scream as you want,And break all the vases,Steal all the flowers,Come back,Just come back…"

Khaled Juma, Palestinian poet and playwright
