Exile. Leaving Gaza

Mona Nofal is 36 years old. She worked at the Islamic University of Gaza until the war that followed the October 7, 2023 attack. After that, her life was turned upside down. She left her home in Khan Yunis, completely destroyed by Israeli bombings, and for months she wandered with her family from the south to the north of the Gaza Strip. In April 2024, she found shelter in Alexandria, Egypt. In exile, Mona is accompanied by guilt for being alive and the longing of not knowing if she will ever be able to return to her homeland. Being with her, her family, and the Mediterranean Sea that overlooks the city was a formative experience.
