About Palestine Memorial

A digital space dedicated to honoring the memory of 63,872 lives lost in Gaza, transforming data into a living memorial that preserves the humanity behind the statistics.

Our Mission

The Gaza Souls Memorial exists to ensure that every life lost in Gaza is remembered, honored, and never forgotten. In a world where casualties can become mere statistics, we restore the humanity behind each number.

Through innovative data visualization and interactive technology, we create a space for reflection, education, and remembrance that transcends traditional memorials.

Our goal is not just to document loss, but to foster empathy, promote understanding, and inspire action toward peace and justice.
