One year after the release of the book, The Eyes of Gaza (2025), Palestinian journalist and author Plestia Al-Aqad will return to the spotlight in Cairo for a special evening of conversation and reflection at Diwan Bookstore in Heliopolis. The event, scheduled for Saturday, April 18, at 6 PM, will feature Al-Aqad in conversation with writer Laila Shadid. The discussion aims to explore the human stories behind the headlines from Gaza and the broader urgency of imagining a different future. Diwan Bookstore described the gathering as “a powerful evening marking the anniversary of The Eyes of Gaza — a work that moves beyond memoir into a call for witness, solidarity, and hope.” The program will be followed by a book signing with the author. Al-Aqad, who gained international attention for her on-the-ground reporting from Gaza during the ongoing conflict, documented daily life, personal experiences, and the reality of civilians through her writing and social media dispatches. The memoir has been praised for its intimate, unfiltered perspective that humanizes the realities often reduced to news cycles. The anniversary discussion comes amid continued global attention on the humanitarian situation in GazaContinue reading "Diwan Bookstore Hosts Anniversary Event for Plestia Al-Aqad’s “The Eyes of Gaza”"

Egypt has identified more than 17 million previously undocumented genetic variants in its first large-scale genome study, according to findings from the Egypt Genome Project published on 6 April. The research, which analysed 1,024 individuals across 21 governorates, marks a major step toward understanding the genetic makeup of Egyptians, an area that has long been underrepresented in global research. Scientists say the findings could reshape how diseases are diagnosed and treated in Egypt, as many existing medical models are based largely on European populations and may not accurately reflect local genetic differences. The study identified more than 51 million genetic variants in total, with around one-third not found in international databases, highlighting gaps in global genetic data. Researchers also found that Egyptians have a distinct genetic profile, combining shared Middle Eastern ancestry with a unique North African component. This distinction may help explain differences in how certain diseases appear and how patients respond to treatment. When international risk models were applied to the sample, results showed unusually high risk levels for several conditions, something researchers say reflects limitations in those models rather than actual disease rates. The findings also pointedContinue reading "Egypt Study Identifies Over 17 Million Previously Undocumented Genetic Variants"
