رماد العصافير

This is a collection of over 40 short stories that narrate the oppression of the people of Gaza and the crimes of the Zionist regime. Following the bombing of the Al-Mamadani Hospital in Gaza in 2023, which led to the martyrdom of over 400 civilians, including women and children, Hamed Askari, with a pen immersed in sorrow and tenderness, transformed real events into stories over six days. These stories take the reader’s heart to the alleys of Gaza, acquainting them with the pain and suffering of the oppressed inhabitants of this region.

Askari, with particular finesse, depicts the bitter and tragic moments of war and, through the voices of his fictional characters, cries out the plight of Gaza’s children, women, and men. The Ashes of Sparrows is not just a book of stories; it is a mournful song from Gaza that seeks to awaken the sleeping consciences of the world.
