"My name is Mosab Abu Toha and Iā€™m a Palestinian poet and writer from Gaza.
Today morning with a heavy heart I received the news of the destruction of the Edward Said Public Library in Beit Lahia, north Gaza. The news and pictures came through just three days after Gazans were allowed to return to north Gaza.
Starting 2016, I started collecting books from around the world to build Gazaā€™s first English language library. With the endorsement and support of authors and intellectuals around the world, I raised the needed funds to open the library in the summer of 2017.
