Farah Makhlouf

The Sharjah International Book Fair is now home to a massive black poster adorned solely with names. These are not just any names though, they are the names of the Palestinian martyrs who tragically lost their lives in Gaza.

Uhibbook Publishing, the publishing house responsible for this moving tribute, has compiled a list of approximately 7,000 Palestinian martyrs

This piece however remains unfinished as the death toll continues to rise. It has now surpassed 10,000.

Entitled “Unfinished Stories,” this powerful exhibit seeks to shed light on the heartbreaking consequences of war

Upon closer inspection, viewers may realise that one name stands out – 80 of the same family name in fact. Approximately 80 members of a single family tragically lost their lives during the devastating bombings.

Visitors of the Sharjah International Book Fair can view this solemn tribute at Hall 6 — L17.
