Requiem for Gaza

In the spring of 2025, cartoonist Joe Sacco and journalist Chris Hedges—a former *New York Times* bureau chief for the Balkans and the Middle East and a Pulitzer Prize winner—traveled twice to Cairo, where they interviewed 29 Palestinian families who had recently fled Gaza. Drawing on the experiences of these families, *Requiem for Gaza* chronicles the ordeal of genocide: the loss of homes and communities, the staggering death toll, constant displacement, the terror of indiscriminate killings, hunger and deprivation, the annihilation of everything known and familiar, and the struggle to endure the callous indifference of a world that has continued—and continues—to supply weapons to Israel, despite the inconceivable massacre that has been perpetrated.
