Revised and updated, with an eyewitness account from Noam Chomsky, this new edition of Eyes in Gaza is translated from the Norwegian by Guy Puzey & Frank Stewart. During the course of Israel’s twenty-two-day military offensive in 2009 on the Gaza Strip, NORWAC (the Norwegian Aid Committee) succeeded in getting some of its envoys into the heart of Gaza City, including two doctors: Mads Gilbert and Erik Fosse. For some time, the two were the only Western eyewitnesses in Gaza. This book is an account of their experience during sixteen harrowing days from 27 December 2008 to 12 January 2009.
