يوميات الدهيشة: مشهد من المخيم
نبذة مختصرة: 

 

Begun six days after the outbreak of the al-Aqsa intifada and carried day-by-day over the Internet, this diary provides a unique perspective on how events were viewed and lived on the ground as they were happening. More particularly, it conveys a sense of life during these events in the Dahaysha refugee camp, a sprawling conglomerate of 10,000 inhabitants south of Bethlehem. The journal entries in their entirety can be found on http://xii.net/intifada2000/deardiary. The excerpts below were approved by the author.
