Abstract: Gaza Writes Back, a collection of short stories by Palestinian youths, depicts the deep psychological scars inflicted by ongoing conflict and war trauma. Through compelling narratives set against the harsh realities of daily life in Gaza, the collection highlights the profound impact of violence, displacement, and loss—particularly on children. This study examines how these stories serve as windows into the emotional and psychological struggles of Palestinians, revealing their resilience and suppressed emotions. Employing Freud’s psychoanalytic framework, this research aims to analyze how trauma manifests in the unconscious mind of the characters, shaping their perceptions and behaviors in a war-torn landscape.
