In Gaza, an inhabitant documents the living conditions of the population since October 7, 2023, amidst continuous Israeli bombardments. Entire areas, including homes, schools, universities, and roads, have been destroyed, making it difficult for rescue teams to reach targeted locations. The journalist uses two phones, charged in a hospital powered by generators, to show the daily life of Palestinians. However, due to fuel and electricity shortages, she may soon be unable to report on the situation. Over 263,000 Palestinians have been forced to leave their homes to escape the bombings.

The humanitarian situation in Gaza is dire. During a recent visit, it was clear that conditions have worsened since the last visit. At the vocational training center of Oumuwa, which serves 45,000 people, I met a father and his five children. They were living in a makeshift space of only 4 square meters, sleeping on the floor without a mattress or blanket. The father broke down in tears, expressing how his dignity had been taken away. This story highlights the struggles faced by many in Gaza.

In Gaza, there is a severe humanitarian crisis with displaced Palestinians struggling to find food and water. The northern part of Gaza is experiencing a famine, forcing people to eat animal food just to survive. The lack of essential nutrients is particularly affecting children, newborns, and those with health complications. Many believe that food is being used as a weapon, with a blockade on humanitarian aid and even a United Nations convoy being shot at. This deliberate prevention of aid is part of a plan to push people out and prevent them from staying alive.

The Gaza Strip is a densely populated area, with 2 million Palestinians living in a small space. They heavily rely on foreign aid, and their movement is restricted by heavily militarized borders controlled by Israel and Egypt. Israeli forces have the authority to shoot and kill anyone who gets too close to the border fence. Gaza's coastline is also restricted, and fishermen can only go a few nautical miles from shore. The area is under an economic blockade, resulting in high unemployment rates, especially among the youth.

Hi, I'm Abdallah, a 13-year-old stuck in Gaza. Our world is destroyed, but we're surviving. The BBC documentary "Gaza: How to Survive a War Zone" tells our story, featuring kids like Renad, who runs a cooking channel, and Zakaria, who helps at a hospital. Rana, a young mother, struggles through displacement. The documentary shows the harsh realities and our humanity. But now, some people are attacking the BBC, claiming I'm the son of a Hamas official. They want the documentary removed. While it's true my father works in Gaza's civil administration, that shouldn't discredit our experiences. Some accuse the Palestinian cameramen of being biased. The BBC has added a disclaimer about my father. Critics are trying to discredit this powerful documentary that shows what's happening in Gaza.

Humanity has failed the Palestinians, stealing their land and subjecting them to blockades, poverty, and injustice. Despite the world's ignorance, their struggle for freedom continues. Palestinians have shown the world the truth about unfairness, lies, and puppet leaders. Resistance is their path to liberation in a world filled with horror.

A journalist and academic from Gaza shares the devastating loss of her extended family and friends due to the ongoing conflict. She struggles to find words to describe the pain and the constant stream of names of those who have been killed. She can no longer bear to watch or hear the news. The memories of loved ones lost are too painful to remember. She expresses her disbelief at the destruction in Gaza, a place she used to know so well. She ends by sharing her youngest daughter's heartbreaking question: "Are we going to see my aunties again?" She pleads for someone to help her answer.

In Gaza, 100% of the population is experiencing severe food insecurity, a first in history. The United Nations states that the entire population requires humanitarian aid.

Yousef, a 16-year-old Palestinian who was born and raised in the United Arab Emirates, moved with his family to Gaza in 2021 for financial reasons. His father remains in the UAE, while Yousef, his mother, and his siblings stayed in Gaza. He recounts that they planned to stay for two years, but the war began in October 2023 and they have been stuck there for two years, unable to leave despite multiple attempts. Since the ceasefire began, he says the safe zone has expanded and he has been able to return to his home, though the situation remains fragile. He notes that the ceasefire brought some relief, with more trucks and goods entering Gaza, but emphasizes that conditions are still dire and aid is unevenly distributed. The conversation covers daily life under siege. Yousef explains that basic necessities are scarce: food is limited and bought in markets or distributed as aid; many staple items like eggs, chicken, meat, and fish have been unavailable for months. Prices are volatile and, for example, cucumbers have spiked to around 20 shekels (about $5) per kilogram, a stark increase from prewar levels. Rent for a two-bedroom apartment can be around $500 per month, a significant burden in Gaza’s high unemployment context. Electricity is unreliable or nonexistent, so people rely on solar panels or generators; Yousef charges his phone at a neighbor’s solar-powered setup and cannot depend on consistent electricity. Water and sanitation present ongoing problems. The Mediterranean Sea is a source of water, though some prefer not to shower with seawater. In the early war, Yousef had to haul water in gallons; the current situation is somewhat better but still precarious. Bathrooms in tents and some homes lack proper sewage systems, with open sewage and improvised pits common in certain areas, especially during rain. Cooking is done with firewood because gas is scarce. Health care is severely constrained: most hospitals lack anesthesia for many procedures, and for serious injuries, patients may need to be transported outside Gaza for treatment, a process hampered by fuel shortages and border closures. Security and order have fluctuated. During the peak of the war, crime rose as people evacuated and others stole cars or avoided detection by removing license plates. Since the ceasefire, Hamas has resumed its local police and security functions, helping people report stolen property and maintain order. Younger Yousef describes the personal toll of two years of conflict. He has lost weight along with nearly everyone he knows, and he sometimes feels exhausted and wants to return to school to resume normal life. He continues to document his life for online audiences, despite growing fatigue, and maintains a sense of humor and faith that helps him cope. He attributes some resilience to religion and to a commitment to continue sharing his story. His family’s plans after potential exit from Gaza include returning to school and pursuing higher education, possibly in the United States or in the UAE, with a leaning toward marketing or business studies. He envisions leveraging his growing online following to support others and is involved with Human Concern International to distribute aid in Gaza, including daily food distributions and sponsorships for orphans. He maintains a fundraiser—a crypto-based transfer and cash-exchange arrangement—to support his household, though he notes that transaction fees have at times taken a large share of funds. When asked about whether the war is over, he suggests it will truly end when there is lasting peace outside Hamas’ control, and he remains hopeful that a future interview in person could capture his full story after he leaves Gaza.

"Palestinians in Gaza now make up eighty percent of all the people facing famine or catastrophic hunger worldwide according to the UN." "Every person in Gaza is hungry." "A quarter of the population are starving and struggling to find food and drinkable water." "Famine is imminent." "The three hundred and thirty five thousand children under the age of five are at high risk of malnutrition." "The some fifty thousand pregnant women lack health care and adequate nutrition." "Infants are dying in droves." "Palestine had ceased to exist." "The Palestinians are being forced to choose between death from bombs, disease, exposure, or starvation, or being driven from their homeland." "There will soon reach a point where death will be so ubiquitous that deportation for those who want to live will be the only option." "Israel is lobbying countries in Latin America and Africa to accept Palestinian refugees."

The Abu Sofia family cultivated one of Gaza's last orchards facing the Israeli buffer zone. Despite hardships, their orchards thrived until Israel's military campaign in 2023 destroyed them. Satellite imagery shows the farm demolished, replaced by Israeli fortifications and a new road, turning it into a military outpost.

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.

I am honored to receive the Impact Voices of Courage and Conscience Media Award. The courage and conscience involved in our Israel-Palestine episode of Parts Unknown were minimal. I am grateful for the positive response from Palestinians, as we aimed to portray their everyday lives—cooking, playing, and sharing their hopes and dreams. It’s disheartening that such simple images can shock many, highlighting how distorted our understanding of the Palestinian people has become. They are not mere statistics; we sought to show their humanity. This recognition means a great deal to me and the entire team, and I sincerely thank you for it.

A Palestinian journalist, Leila Warah, documents the daily struggles of living under occupation in the West Bank. She highlights the normalization of checkpoints and the dehumanization of Palestinians in the media. Warah aims to educate people outside of Palestine about the reality of life there, disregarding the occupier's perspective. Despite the risks faced by Palestinian journalists, Warah believes in the importance of her work. She emphasizes that being Palestinian is seen as problematic and can make her a target. Warah has experienced challenges from Israeli forces and acknowledges the danger of being a journalist in the region.

This video shows the aftermath of a strike in the Al Shati refugee camp in Gaza. The attack occurred during intense Israeli bombardment. United Nations officials have called the living conditions in Gaza "inhumane" and stated that 70% of people in the area are displaced. The nurse and activity manager for Doctors Without Borders, Emily Callahan, shares her experience of being evacuated and the difficult conditions she witnessed. She describes overcrowded camps with limited access to water and medical supplies. The national staff of Doctors Without Borders played a crucial role in ensuring their safety and survival. Despite the hardships, Callahan expresses her deep connection to Gaza and the incredible resilience of the Palestinian people.

The speaker discusses the situation in Gaza, where Palestinians are being put on a restricted diet to avoid starvation. The army's dieticians have calculated the calorie intake needed to prevent malnutrition, allowing 131 trucks of food to enter Gaza daily. The Gaza Heroes protest against this suffocating blockade, which is met with severe repression by the Israelis. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who came to power in 2009, supports the Hamas and regularly bombs Gaza to maintain the current situation. However, Gaza suffers from high poverty and unemployment rates, limited access to water and electricity, and no means of escape. This has led to an eruption of anger and protests. The journalist recommends reading the detailed article for more information.

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.

The speaker shares their personal experience of living and working in Gaza, highlighting the difficult conditions and the impossible dialogue between people on both sides. They mention the constant blockade, lack of electricity and water, and the overcrowded living situations. They also mention the admirable work of hospital staff in saving children who are regularly bombed. Another speaker acknowledges the atrocities committed by both sides but questions if the daily lives of Palestinians in Gaza have been overlooked. The first speaker responds that it is not just the French government but the entire world that is responsible, including the Palestinians themselves. They emphasize that the civilians in Gaza have been victims of everyone involved and have suffered for many years.

I've heard heartbreaking stories of forced displacement in Gaza. Families have minutes to flee before bombings. Many aren't warned. Children are left injured and traumatized. There is no safe place in Gaza.
