Dear friends, as you probably have noticed, we’re closing kotobli’s last chapter.

It was a pleasure reading and exploring our vibrant local literature with you all.

Thank you for all the love and support.

Dear friends, we interrupt kotobli’s little hiatus to share a fundraising campaign for Mayli Library, a women’s space in Baalbek that has shifted its focus on emergency relief for families displaced by 🇮🇱’s incessant bombardment.

[kotobli - كتب لي @kotobli]

The team has been providing blankets, food, hygiene products...

Now ahead of winter, they face the urgent task to buy and distribute heaters and carpets for displaced families.

Please support them by donating or sharing, every bit makes a difference!

Refaat Alareer reads from Light in Gaza

[Refaat in Gaza 🇵🇸 @itranslate123]

As of last week, more than 30k downloaded this book by @haymarketbooks: Please download a free copy of “Light in Gaza” and read (at least) the first chapter Gaza asks: When Shall this pass?
It’s one of the most painful things I wrote.
