In January 2023, the speaker went to the Holy Land as a volunteer tour guide with their mother and a church group. The group was stopped by the IDF a half-mile from their destination. Soldiers with machine guns boarded the bus to check IDs. The speaker was told to stop recording to avoid arrest. The bus had to take a longer route. The bus driver said they were stopped because they were Palestinian and was rushing to avoid the Muslim Friday shutdown. At lunch, the electricity was shut off to the whole complex. A shopkeeper told the speaker that authorities often shut off the electricity to prevent them from making money from tourists. The speaker believes the electricity was shut off arbitrarily. The speaker feels that allowing young soldiers unchecked power leads to injustice. They found the Palestinian people they met to be kind, while many of the soldiers were hateful. The speaker's perspective on the conflict shifted after witnessing these events firsthand.

Initially, the Mexican president, CEC, opposed opening the gate for humanitarian material. However, I personally persuaded him to change his mind. Additionally, I also spoke with Bibi to convince him to open the gate on the Israeli side.

I was going to join the army, and I'm really happy that I went because it was very important to me. It was very significant. And to know that you give everything you can for your country and to enter Gazaq, it's something that was never expected, never before were girls allowed to cross the borders. So, Diaz, it's really a pride, and being among the first is even more their mission inside complex combat operations that involve intelligence and attack.

I am Bissam from Gaza, and I am alive after three days of invasion. The situation is extremely difficult as the hospital I am in is about to be invaded. The tanks and soldiers are very close to us. The bombings are loud and terrifying. I am desperately searching for an internet connection to update you on what is happening. The hospital is the last one functioning, but it is being targeted. The ambulances cannot reach the injured due to the carpet bombing. People are displaced and seeking shelter in the hospital, but there is nowhere to go. They are trying to find safety in nearby schools or the refugee camp.

October 7th was horrific. After seeing the videos of what Hamas did, I knew I had to do everything I could to put the truth out there. I realized that I am a part of the Jewish people. Though Lebanese by birth, Israel is home to me, more so than Lebanon. The Bibas family and the children really affected me; I couldn't stop crying. I was in the hospital with my daughter, who is now considering naming her baby Ariel in honor of Ariel Bibas. October 7th showed Israel that Jewish people have to bond together and be unbroken because the world won't save us. After the attacks, the world condemned Israel, not Hamas.

Younger Palestinian YouTuber Yousef, 16, who was born in the United Arab Emirates, lived in Gaza since 2021 for financial reasons with his family. His father remains in Dubai, while his mother, sister, and brother are in Gaza. They were forced to evacuate multiple times during the war, with Yousef now back at his home after a ceasefire expanded the safe zone. Life in Gaza before and after October 7 - Before the war, Gaza had a functioning culture and markets, though limited by blockade. The minimum wage was around $100 per month; people were generally content with what they had. - October 7, 2023, the day the war began, severely disrupted life. Yousef woke early for a history test, then learned what happened and realized he would likely never have imagined the current situation. He and his family have tried to leave Gaza since day one, but have not succeeded. Current conditions and daily life - Power and water: Electricity is almost entirely via solar panels; ordinary fuel and grid electricity are scarce. Water sources include seawater (for bathing) and wells; at the war’s start, he had to collect water in gallons, but the situation has improved somewhat since the ceasefire. - Food: Markets have scarce basic items. Eggs, chicken, meat, and fish are often unavailable for months. Prices are volatile and high; for example, cucumber prices reached around 70 shekels ($20) at one point, later around 20 shekels (>$5), whereas before the war they were much cheaper. Rent for a two-room apartment can be around $500 per month. Some regions have generators, but electricity is otherwise limited. - Cooking: No gas for ovens; they cook with firewood. - Hygiene and sanitation: Sewage systems are broken in many areas; tents used during displacement require makeshift bathrooms with holes. Rain can worsen conditions in tents. - Transportation and security: Very few people own cars; some have stolen vehicles during peak fighting. Security largely depends on Hamas, which has resumed some police functions after the ceasefire. In earlier months, security was lax as people prioritized evacuation and basic needs. - Hospitals and healthcare: Hospitals exist but are under-resourced. Anesthesia is scarce; in emergencies, some injuries require treatment abroad. If pregnant, many rely on scarce local facilities, and some situations require evacuation outside Gaza for proper care. - Communications: Yousef relies on a neighbor’s solar charging setup or other makeshift arrangements to charge devices; internet remains unreliable. Economy and aid - Unemployment is nearly universal; many rely on aid distributions. Yousef considers himself relatively fortunate due to donations and his ability to earn via a fundraiser and crypto transfers. - Money and transfer: He uses crypto wallets and GoFundMe-style fundraisers; a portion is charged by exchange offices, sometimes as high as 50% during the worst periods (later around 20%). Thus, sending $1,000 could yield around $500 to him at the worst times. - Aid access varies; some households receive frequent distributions, others rarely or never. Yousef notes a contrast between his own comparatively supported situation and the more desperate conditions of many others. Family and future - Yousef’s mother and siblings remain in Gaza; his father is in Dubai. He has considered studying marketing or business, possibly in the United States, though he has also contemplated studying in the UAE. He plans to return to school and complete high school, with university options in the US or UAE. - He has built a personal brand online and now collaborates with Human Concern International to distribute aid and sponsor orphans, as well as run daily food distributions. Support can be provided via a fundraiser link, with crypto options available. Ceasefire impact and outlook - Since the ceasefire, the safe zone has expanded, and more aid and goods have entered Gaza, though needs remain severe. Yousef believes the war will feel truly over when Hamas-related danger abates and borders reopen for substantial, sustained relief and reconstruction. The interview ends with mutual encouragement and a plan to meet again in person as circumstances allow. Yousef expresses resilience and a continued commitment to sharing his story.

I visited the Gaza Strip with Palestinian Muslim guides. Despite risks, we entered a town and met a young girl. When the locals approached, I stayed to help and gave what I could. Both Palestinians and Israelis deserve peace. I pray they find solace in the Lord Jesus.

I shook hands with a Hamas activist because they treated us well and were considerate. They took care of my mom's needs and were prepared. They provided shampoo and conditioner for women. I didn't ask about what was happening outside.

I am leaving Gaza and won't be wearing this heavy vest anymore. I hope to return soon and contribute to rebuilding. I will miss the people I have spent so much time with, even though they once forgot to pick me up from the office.

I'm in Israel at a kibbutz near Ouz, where a horrific tragedy occurred. Eighty people were kidnapped, and 30 were killed; almost 25% of the population here. Behind me are the burned buildings, a grim reminder of the slaughter perpetrated by Hamas. Just beyond lies Gaza, the Gaza Strip. The sounds of explosions and gunfire are constant. You can see the smoke rising from the explosions. This very place was the site of some of the worst atrocities committed on October 7th. I felt it was vital to come here and stand against this evil. Americans were killed in this kibbutz, and Americans are currently held hostage by Hamas. We must not leave any American behind.

I was in charge of detonating explosives. We destroyed buildings belonging to terrorists, mosques, and even a UN office that helped families affected by war in Gaza.

I have 33 years of experience in the force, witnessing various events worldwide, including 9/11, natural disasters, and terror attacks. I thought I had seen it all until I arrived at the scene on Saturday. As a father of 10, I brought my family to help. The devastation was unimaginable. We found people who had been shot or burned to death, some multiple times. When I arrived at Kibbutz Ares two days ago, my team of 50 began searching houses for bodies. In one house, we discovered a pregnant woman with her stomach open and a baby connected to the cord, stabbed with a knife. The mother had been shot in the head. It's difficult to comprehend the order of events in such a horrific scene.

The last nine months, Israel was on the brink of civil war. There were hundreds of Israelis taking to the streets because Bibi Netanyahu was basically redefining constitution. The whole country is surveilled. He said the judicial branch has too much power. Netanyahu now has an emergency government and a mandate to lead. Was there a stand down order? Six hours? When I took a helicopter ride from Jerusalem to the Gaza border, it's forty five minutes. They're livestreaming the killing of Jews. The whole country is the IDF. And you're trying to tell me that they're going to concerts and kibbutzes and schools and buy report.

Living near the border, I received SMS messages last November saying not to worry about the bomb sounds because it was just Hamas practicing. It's surreal that they knew, but the IDF and our government didn't prepare for this scenario. We have a 2 billion shekel defense system, but they still managed to penetrate it. I found bodies and took photos to inform our forces. My friends were killed, kidnapped, and their children taken hostage. We don't know why this happened. After 5 hours, the army finally responded. There will be tough questions for Benjamin Netanyahu and the government later, but right now, we just want to find the fastest way to end Hamas.

Be careful because you might injure yourself. I'm Abdullah, a 13-year-old stuck in Gaza. Our lives have been upended by constant war. My grandfather's house, once home to 40 people, is now rubble. We've been displaced multiple times as the Israeli army searches for Hamas. Gaza is a tiny, overcrowded strip, and evacuation orders force us into so-called safe zones. I used to attend the best school in Gaza, but now I live in a tent. People struggle to find water and new ways to make money. Renat distracts herself and others with an online cooking show, while Zakaria lives at the hospital, which has become a vital center for the displaced. Bombings continue, even near safe zones. Despite ceasefires and hopes for a better future, the fear of renewed war always looms.

Yousef is a 16-year-old Palestinian who was born and raised in the United Arab Emirates and moved with his family to Gaza in 2021 for financial reasons. His father remains in the UAE, while his mother, sister, and brother are with him in Gaza. They became trapped in Gaza when the war began in October 2023. Since day one of the conflict, they attempted to leave multiple times but have not succeeded. With the ceasefire, the security situation and access have improved somewhat, and Yousef has been able to return to his home as the “safe zone” expanded and more trucks and goods entered Gaza, though conditions remain dire. Life in Gaza before the war was described as culturally similar to other Middle Eastern regions: people were relatively content with limited means, with a low minimum wage (before the war around $100 per month), a strong sense of community, and traditional culture—olive oil, a national dance, and dresses. The October 7, 2023 attack marked the start of an ongoing, devastating conflict for him and his peers. He recalls waking early for a history test, seeing the news of the attack, and realizing that leaving Gaza would be difficult from that point onward. The first months of the war were extremely intense: doors and windows shook, some areas were targeted, and he and his family even sheltered in the middle of their house to mitigate blast effects. Survival today in Gaza is highly constrained. Yousef relies on solar panels to charge his phone and borrows power from neighbors. Food and essentials are scarce and expensive. He notes that markets sometimes have aid–or “commercial” goods distributed by charities. He and his family struggle with the absence of stable electricity; some neighborhoods have generators, but many do not. Water is a major issue: early in the war they had to fill water jugs daily, but now they rely on nearby wells and the sea for water, with some residents using the sea water for showers. There is no functioning sewage system in tents, and even in other areas, sewage can be exposed on the street. Cooking is often done with firewood since gas is scarce. Hospitals pose significant challenges; anesthesia exists in some facilities, but obtaining timely medical treatment may require leaving Gaza, and transport to a hospital can be difficult due to fuel shortages and vehicle access. Ambulances do operate, but response times vary with the circumstances on the ground. In terms of nutrition and diet, food has been scarce: eggs, chicken, meat, and fish have been difficult to obtain for months. Yousef describes weight loss across his family and the broader population, with many people unable to purchase or access adequate food. He mentions prices in Gaza as extremely high relative to the UAE; for example, a kilogram of cucumbers has fluctuated dramatically, from under $2 before the war to around $5–$20 in some periods, depending on supply and borders. Rent for a two-bedroom apartment can be around $500 per month, and many people lack cars, with some paying thousands of dollars to evacuate and relocate early in the war. Currency exchange and money access are constrained; Yousef uses crypto wallets and a fundraising GoFundMe-style page, with an exchange operator taking substantial fees (peaking around 50–55% during the worst period), though this has improved to about 20% more recently. He also relies on aid networks; he works with Human Concern International to distribute daily food and sponsor orphans, and has a fundraising link for support. Security in Gaza is uneven. During the peak of the war, theft and looting occurred as people evacuated, but with the ceasefire, Hamas has reasserted some security roles. Yousef’s family has endured personal loss: a cousin died after being unable to access medical treatment in time due to the blockade. He notes that many people he knows have been affected by the war, either through injury or death of loved ones. Looking ahead, Yousef expresses a desire to return to school, finish high school, and pursue university—potentially in the United States or the UAE, with marketing or business studies as his planned field. He remains determined to continue documenting his life and to use his platform to support others through charitable networks. He believes the war will be over when security improves outside Hamas’ influence and when life can resume with greater safety and stability. He and the interviewer discuss continuing to raise funds and support through their networks, with plans for future in-person interviews after the conflict ends.

A surgeon was feeling depressed about the situation in Gaza when a colleague invited them to join a trip there. In the hospital, they saw a high number of injuries, with 50% being children. The European Hospital had turned into a refugee camp with around 20,000 people. People had no place to go after treatment, so they lived in the hospital. The suffering was worse than expected, with starvation, lack of water, and overcrowded makeshift shelters. The trauma surgeon had to make difficult decisions about who to prioritize for surgery due to the lack of medical supplies. Working with Palestinian doctors was an honor, and leaving Gaza was emotional for everyone involved. They hope the media will show the reality of the situation, where a child is killed every 10 minutes.

My father's family had lived in Haifa for generations. When Jewish refugees from Poland and Germany arrived on a ship, they were not allowed to disembark in America or Cuba. So they came to Haifa, where my great grandfather had built the port. The refugees had a banner on their boat, pleading for help and saying they had lost their homes. Two families were taken in by my father's house, and they lived with us for two and a half years. When I was born, my mother went to her parents' house in Nazareth. When she returned with me, we were locked out of our home. Despite my mother's pleas, they wouldn't even give her something to wrap me in. So she had to go to a refugee camp in Syria.

I strongly believed in Zionism from a young age. After college, I moved to Israel, served in the army at Quetzi'ot camp. A Palestinian prisoner described the harsh conditions there. The camp administration forced prisoners to build more sections, leading to a deadly confrontation. Jeffrey Goldberg, a guard at Quetzi'yot, shared his experience in an interview with the New Yorker.

I'm the only person with a Palestinian flag and the only Israeli citizen here. I served in the IDF 40 years ago during a hopeful time for peace. However, I witnessed sabotage and the attempted assassination of the mayor of Nablus. It felt like a mafia-run country hindering the peace process. Despite my initial disbelief, I stand here today to show my support. The emotions overwhelm me as I reflect on the bloodshed and the lies being spread about the truth of the situation. It's truly horrible.

I've been in Israel many times. The whole country is a fortress. 'You cannot go 10 feet without running into a 19 year old with an AR 15 or an automatic machine gun that is an IDF soldier.' The whole country is surveilled. 'The last nine months, Israel was on the brink of civil war.' There were 'hundreds of thousands of Israelis taking to the streets because Bibi Netanyahu was basically redefining the Israeli constitution.' Netanyahu now has an emergency government and a mandate to lead. 'Was there a stand down order?' 'Six hours? I don't believe it.' 'Israel's the size New Jersey.' 'Forty five minutes. Six hours.' 'They're live streaming the killing of Jews.' 'Was did somebody in the government say stand down?' The whole country is the IDF. 'And you're trying to tell me that they're going to concerts and kibbutzes and schools and buy report'

I went on a 5-week medical mission to a field hospital on the border of Chani Yunus and Rafa. The devastation was beyond what I expected. We managed mass casualty incidents, performed surgeries with limited supplies, and saw many children with shrapnel and gunshot wounds. It was heartbreaking to treat so many innocent victims.

Speaker 0 and Speaker 1 discuss the life of a 16-year-old Palestinian from Gaza who was born in the United Arab Emirates and moved to Gaza in 2021 for financial reasons. The war broke out in 2023, and since then he has been stuck in Gaza despite repeated attempts to leave. He describes the impact of two years of conflict, the ceasefire, and the ongoing uncertainty. Key facts and chronology - Background: The narrator is Palestinian, born and raised in the UAE. In 2021 his family moved to Gaza for financial reasons; his father remains in the UAE, while his mother and siblings stay in Gaza. They planned to stay about two years, but the 2023 war trapped them. - October 7 day: He was 14 at the time. He woke early for a history test, learned of the attacks, and expected a bad outcome. He wanted to leave Gaza from day one of the war and has tried repeatedly to exit, but has not succeeded after two years. - Ceasefire and current status: The ceasefire brought some relief. The safe zone expanded, the area around his home became safer, and more trucks and goods are entering. He is back in his home, though the security and reconstruction process remains incomplete. Living conditions in Gaza - Daily life: He describes a world of limited resources, frequent power shortages, and reliance on solar panels for charging devices. Water access fluctuates; at one point the family ran out of water for about a month, later improving somewhat. They obtain water from wells and the sea, and use firewood for cooking due to lack of gas. - Food and markets: Food in markets is scarce and expensive. He notes prices are high (cucumbers once costing up to four times their price in the UAE or the US). Eggs, chicken, meat, and fish are hard to find; basic proteins are scarce, with cheese and some dairy options as partial sources. He emphasizes the high price of essentials and the difficulty of obtaining a stable supply. - Housing and sanitation: Many people live in tents or destroyed houses, with limited or nonfunctional sewage systems in some areas. When in tents, they lacked proper sewage; they dug holes for bathrooms and water management was challenging, especially during rain. - Hospitals and medical care: Hospitals exist but face significant constraints, including limited anesthesia and delays in accessing care. In some cases, severe injuries require treatment abroad. Ambulance service exists but depends on fuel and urgency, and access to timely care is highly variable. - Security and law: During peak fighting, security was unstable and theft occurred, with cars often having plates removed. Once the ceasefire began, Hamas resumed some policing and security roles to maintain order, and residents could report stolen items through local channels. Economic situation and money - Unemployment and income: The unemployment rate is effectively near 99-100%, with most people unable to work. The narrator’s own finances are aided by a combination of donations, a crypto wallet, and a fundraising page. He uses a fundraiser to receive crypto, which an intermediary exchanges for cash locally, taking a sizable percentage (up to 50-55% at the worst), though it has decreased to around 20% recently. - Rent and housing costs: Rent for a two-bedroom apartment can be around $500/month, and in some cases more. The narrator had to pay around $5,000 for evacuation assistance for family members, but was put in a long queue; funds are being held until border openings allow exit. Personal situation and future plans - Family: His mother and siblings are in Gaza with him; his father is in Dubai. The family continues to rely on aid distributions and informal networks. - Education and future: He hopes to return to school and finish high school, with plans for university—potentially in the United States or the UAE, studying marketing or business. He has built a substantial online following and brand identity as part of his life in Gaza. - Humanitarian work and giving: He collaborates with Human Concern International to distribute aid, sponsor orphans, and provide daily food distributions. He also has a personal fundraiser and a crypto-based support channel for those who want to help. Outlook - He remains hopeful that the ceasefire will hold and that external access will improve, enabling reconstruction and possibly allowing him and others to leave Gaza for education and stability. He notes a sense of exhaustion but continues to post and engage with his audience, aiming to finish school and pursue studies abroad or in the UAE. He believes the war will end with resolution outside of Hamas’ control and expresses a determination to remain hopeful and continue his activities despite the hardships.

I've been in Israel many times. The whole country's a fortress. The last nine months, Israel was on the brink of civil war. hundreds of Israelis taking to the streets because Bibi Netanyahu was basically redefining constitution. That's not an exaggeration. Netanyahu now has an emergency government and a mandate to lead. Was there a stand down order? Six hours? I don't believe it. When I took a helicopter ride from Jerusalem to the Gaza border, it's forty five minutes. Wow. They're live streaming the killing of Jews. Was did somebody in the government say stand down? The whole country is the IDF. The whole country is. Yeah. And you're trying to tell me that they're going to concerts and kibbutzes and schools and buy report
