About the Author

Vittorio Arrigoni, an Italian national, has worked as a human rights activist for over a decade. He has been involved in volunteer work all over the world, from Eastern Europe to Africa, all the way to Palestine and Gaza, where he has lived for a year, from 2008 to September 2009. As a freelance journalist with the Italian daily Il Manifesto, Arrigoni describes the days of "Operation: Cast Lead", not simply as a columnist, but also as someone intimately involved with the war as a volunteer, working with the Palestinian Red Crescent ambulances as a "human shield".

Reviews

"'Being Human' has been the ultimate gift of a book that ironically delivers stories of irreparable tragedy and heroism, embedded in words of selflessness and remorse from the unprecedented harsh ground realities of war torn Gaza. " Goodreads
