Katara opens 'Windows Into Gaza' exhibition to shed light on lives of Palestinians in Gaza Strip
DOHA: The Cultural Village Foundation - Katara has opened the 'Windows Into Gaza' exhibition to highlight the humane aspects of life in the Gaza Strip through art and very short stories, offering a profound human narrative and an awareness-raising message.
The exhibition, which was inaugurated by Director-General of Katara Dr Khalid bin Ibrahim Al Sulaiti, features 31 photographs representing a selection of scenes from the daily lives of the people of Gaza, embodying a visual and literary dialogue between text and image.
The exhibition's opening coincides with the publication of 'The Sufferings of Gaza... Very Short Stories' by Qatari author Dr Ahmed Abdul Malik, who drew inspiration from his book, that inspired the texts on display, as part of a creative project.
In this context, Dr Ahmed Abdul Malik said that the exhibition represents a cultural contribution aimed at raising awareness and documenting human memory through art. He relied on the very short story for his book, as it is a literary tool capable of conveying meaning in the fewest possible words, yet retaining its full emotional and symbolic impact. This is also exemplified in the images on display, which stand side by side with the text to construct a comprehensive picture of reality.
He noted Katara's hosting of the exhibition as part of its pioneering role in empowering culture to be a voice for humanity and a means of rapprochement between peoples.
The 'Windows Into Gaza' exhibition, which runs until June 10, is a space for contemplation and a mirror that reflects the latent power of culture when it becomes a tool for documenting and conveying the collective conscience. It also represents a call to engage with the Palestinian cause from a cultural and human perspective.

Qatari pilgrims arrive in Holy Lands in preparation for Hajj rituals
MAKKAH AL MUKARRAMAH:All Qatari pilgrims have arrived in the Holy Lands of the sisterly Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, in preparation to perform, this year's Hajj rituals. This was accomplished after careful organization and fruitful cooperation between relevant authorities in the country, under the direct supervision of the Qatari Hajj Mission. The pilgrims departed Hamad International Airport successively last Saturday on scheduled flights on Qatar Airways and Saudi Airlines. The pilgrims were distributed among 17 certified campaigns, operating with full administrative and technical staff to provide the best services to Qatari pilgrims in Makkah and the holy sites. The Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs, represented by the Hajj and Umrah Affairs Department, has been coordinating with all relevant authorities in the country since early in the year to facilitate travel procedures for pilgrims. This includes collecting baggage 24 hours before the flight, completing travel procedures and obtaining boarding passes, and organizing movement within the airport to ensure smooth movement and ease for pilgrims. This includes issuing Hajj permits (Nusuk) to pilgrims from the country before their arrival in the Holy Land. Qatar Airways has also designated special counters to serve pilgrims, in addition to the presence of joint teams from the Qatari Hajj Mission and Qatar Airways representatives at Saudi airports to ensure the safe and smooth entry of Qatari pilgrims to the Holy Land. The Qatari Hajj Mission in Makkah and the Holy Sites operates with all its support units within an integrated system to monitor pilgrims from the moment of arrival until they settle into their accommodation. Several Qatari pilgrims expressed their deep gratitude to the mission for its efforts in organizing the arrival process and providing full support at all stage. This support was provided in cooperation with the campaign representatives and with continuous follow-up from the mission members. This included removing any obstacles, if any, at checkpoints at Makkah's ports of entry, to facilitate the entry procedures for Qatari buses.
