Gaza: Preparing for Dawn

A coastal civilisation open to the world. A flourishing port on a major international trading route. This was Gaza`s past. Can it be its future?Today, Gaza is home to a uniquely imprisoned people, most unable to travel to the West Bank, let alone Israel, where tens of thousands once worked, and unable to flee in wartime. Trapped inside a crucible of conflict, the surprise is that so many of them remain courageous, outspoken and steadfast.From refugee camps to factories struggling under economic stranglehold and bombardment, Donald Macintyre reveals Gaza`s human tragedy through the stories of the ordinary people who live and work there. He portrays the suffering through siege and war, the failings – including those of the international community – that have seen opportunities for peace pass by and the fragile, lingering hope that Gaza, with its creativity and resilience, can be part of a better future for the Middle East.
