Richard Adams still remembers the sound of heavy breathing and clicking noises on his telephone line in the months following the racist murder of his son Rolan. Other strange incidents, such as friends’ houses being broken into but nothing going missing, led the family to believe they were being watched. When concerns were raised with the authorities, they were made to feel stupid and paranoid.

In a narrow street deep in Barcelona’s Raval district is a building with an inconspicuous oval hole in its facade. Above the wooden door is the faint lettering ‘Casa d’Infants Orfes’ (House of Orphaned Infants). From the Middle Ages up to the 19th century, women would place their newborn babies in the wooden hatch and rotate it, allowing the anonymous and safe delivery of the child to the orphanage.

‘In our thousands, in our millions, we are all Palestinians.’ This chant, echoed by millions across the world, has taken on a new meaning in the wake of Israel’s annihilation campaign in Gaza.
