Tales From Gaza With Sharyn Lock
Author Sharyn Lock will be at Hebden Bridge library on Friday 7th May to tell her gripping story of Gaza: Beneath the Bombs. Travelling with the Free Gaza Movement, Sharyn believed that the greatest danger she faced would be making it past the Israeli sea blockade in a fishing boat.
Plunging into a nightmare as Israel attacked Gaza’s 1.5 million inhabitants by land, air and sea, Sharyn volunteered with Palestinian ambulances, assisting them as they were faced with overwhelming casualties.
Her story provides a view of Gaza difficult to glimpse from outside – of a people who face their oppression not only with courage but with humour.
Join Sharyn as she tells her story at Hebden Bridge Library on Friday 7th May at 7.30pm. Tickets cost £2 concessions are £1.50.
