A United Nations commission, Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have all separately concluded that Israel has committed genocide in Gaza, where tens of thousands of Palestinians have been killed since the start of the war in October 2023. The cultural life of the enclave is also profoundly threatened, with historic buildings destroyed and writers, poets and academics among that huge death toll.

We speak to bookseller Mahmoud Muna in East Jerusalem about how to resist and even create during such challenging times.

We also bring you a report from Gaza itself: a story of hope about a library that’s been rebuilt and has opened for the first time since the war began.
