In this episode of From Ireland to Palestine, we speak with Ahmed Alnaouq, a Palestinian journalist and activist from Gaza. Ahmed is the co-founder of We Are Not Numbers, a platform amplifying the voices of young Palestinians through storytelling, and has also worked on projects bridging narratives between Palestinians and Israelis.After tragically losing 21 family members in an Israeli airstrike in 2023, Ahmed has dedicated himself even more to ensuring Palestinian experiences are heard and remembered. We discuss his journey, the power of storytelling in resistance, and how personal loss shapes his mission to turn lives reduced to “numbers” back into voices with names and stories.
