One week in Gaza
The daily realities and private thoughts of a young woman living through war.
The daily realities and private thoughts of a young woman living through war.
Every morning, Hanya Aljamal sees the same man from her balcony. 鈥淗e has this tiny garden in the middle of all this concrete stuff,鈥 she says. 鈥淛ust across the road, there鈥檚 a blown-up building. Yet he鈥檚 cultivating these little herbs and plants. And I look at that and it just looks like the purest form of resistance.鈥
Hanya has been living in a war zone for 20 months. In daily audio diaries, she describes what she sees and hears from her balcony and in her work for an aid organisation, from drones and kites to funeral marches and sun rises. Her insights and reflections offer a window into life in a place devastated by conflict.
