A fundraiser to rebuild Gaza's largest bookshop has raised over $129,000, hitting its target in one day.
“I stopped eating so that I could afford to open the shop,” Shaban Aslim said after his shop was reduce to rubble by an Israeli airstrike, in a video widely-shared online.
The organisers of the page have said they will use the money to help rebuil Alsim's shop, and any other bookshops that have been destroyed.
