EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the resilience and adaptability of the people of Ramallah, Palestine during the tumultuous early 20th century, particularly during the First World War. The photograph depicts a church and schools in the heart of the city, serving a dual purpose as a makeshift hospital. The grand stone building with its distinctive Middle Eastern architectural features stands proudly amidst the rugged terrain, its cross atop the tower reaching towards the sky. The schools, with their large arched windows and intricate stonework, are a testament to the importance of education in this community. However, during times of war, these sacred institutions were repurposed to provide much-needed medical care to the wounded and sick. The walls of the church and schools bear the scars of the past, with bullet holes and faded paint, yet they remain standing, a symbol of hope and perseverance. The image also highlights the stark contrast between the beauty of the land and the harsh realities of war. The rolling hills and lush greenery in the background provide a peaceful backdrop to the scene, yet the harsh realities of war are evident in the desolate streets and the somber expressions of the people. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the people of Ramallah during the First World War and the importance of community, faith, and education in times of adversity. It is a powerful visual representation of the indomitable spirit of the people of Palestine and their ability to adapt and thrive in the face of adversity.
