In Deir Al-Balah, a city in the Gaza Strip, Marwa Al-Hasanat has found a way to bring some joy to her community amid the destruction and hardship of war in the form of a roadside bookstore.
Al-Hasanat, 22, a lifelong lover of books inspired by her grandfather who authored three of his own on the Arabic language, started an online bookstore in June 2022 called Marwa.Book. But since the war began on Oct. 7, Al-Hasanat has not been able to purchase books to sell online from Gaza City, where she used to get her supply. The intermittent internet connection throughout the current war has also left her online bookstore inoperable.
Al-Hasanat told ABC News she has experienced her own tragedies in the current conflict.
After a bombing in November hit the house adjacent to hers, her father was killed, she said. Al-Hasanat was trapped under rubble for 15 minutes, she said. Ultimately she was able to escape and survived; she said in an interview with ABC News.
Al-Hasanat said she had a newfound determination. Despite losing her father, she wanted to continue to pursue and share her love and passion for books. If she could not sell her books online, she decided she would start selling them in the street.
Enlisting the help of her cousin Abdul Hakim, she set up a modest stand amidst the street noise filled with displaced people, aiming to support her family after her father's death and to continue spreading the culture she deeply cherished.

Read the Quran.

This war is forever.
I would think more of her if she was giving them away rather than peddling them. Imagine what they’d be saying if a Jew was selling books in his terrorist destroyed neighborhood? Oi vey.
Also, what’s the content of the books? More stories about how killing Jews will get you an honorable place in heaven and make your family so proud of you?
Maybe some bibles and some “How to win freinds and influence people”
If you make enough money selling your books, you might be able to purchase a couple of kidnapped Israeli slaves to help you out.
how many times have people heard this trope? too many if she wants to do this, do it but dont bring publicity to it, because its deafening and shes not the first of too too many
