Shards of the Soul, Noor El Halabi / Zines from Gaza, Coastal Lines press

With what paper remains unburned and the last drops of ink, Noor documents her survival. This zine is her way to unravel the impact of war on her mind and soul; a testament to what was endured and what still persists. From her belief that everyone must resist by any means, she has found in her writings a weapon of resistance: a way to expose the occupier’s brutality to the world.

Noor El Halabi is an English translation student with a deep passion for writing and poetry. Through words, she found a means of survival and resistance, navigating the questions, turmoil, and inner fires ignited by the war, and transforming them into testimony and voice.
