Diary from Gaza: Pages from a Tent in the Gaza War
by Mohammed Hussein, published by Beacon Books.

What does a father write when the world around him is collapsing?

In Pages from a Tent in the Gaza War, Mohammed Hussein offers a raw and deeply human diary from inside one of the darkest chapters of modern history. Written from a fragile tent in Gaza while bombs fall and families struggle simply to survive, these pages document the daily reality of war, displacement, hunger, and fear - but also love, faith, and the stubborn refusal to lose hope.

Through forty days of journal entries, Hussein chronicles life with his wife Yara and their two young sons, Imad and Adam, as they flee their destroyed home and try to rebuild some form of normality in a camp for the displaced.

Each entry captures moments that are both devastating and profoundly human: standing in endless lines for bread, searching desperately for medicine, comforting frightened children during sleepless nights of bombardment, and finding small miracles in shared food, borrowed light, and the laughter of children who refuse to stop dreaming.

This is not a distant political account or a history book. It is the testimony of an ordinary father living through extraordinary brutality - a voice that refuses to allow the suffering of Gaza's civilians to be forgotten.

Hussein writes with disarming honesty and emotional clarity, reminding readers that behind every statistic of war are families, memories, and dreams that deserve to live. In the midst of destruction, he discovers that survival itself becomes an act of resistance, and that even in the darkest nights, hope can flicker like a fragile candle that refuses to go out.

Diary from Gaza is a powerful record of endurance and humanity - a diary that bears witness to loss, resilience, and the unbreakable bond of family in the face of unimaginable suffering.

This book is more than a diary. It is a testimony.
A voice from Gaza that asks the world to remember.
