Support our work: Palestinian novelist, poet and activist Susan Abulhawa recently returned from two weeks in the Gaza Strip, where she witnessed firsthand the destruction and misery wrought upon the territory and its people by Israel's relentless assault. Abulhawa spoke with _Democracy Now!_ last Wednesday from Cairo and said “the trauma is immeasurable“ for the Palestinians in Gaza. Abulhawa describes hearing stories of abuse, humiliation and torture at the hands of Israeli soldiers as people struggle to find basic necessities to survive. “The degradation is total,“ says Abulhawa. “And on top of that, they're bombed, day in and out.“ Democracy Now! is an independent global news hour that airs on over 1,500 TV and radio stations Monday through Friday.
