Bissam from Gaza provides an update on the war, unsure if he will survive. The Israeli army has been targeting ways to generate electricity, specifically solar cells. They have bombed buildings, bakeries, and any place with solar cells in Gaza City.

I live in Gaza City and my daily routine involves dealing with bombings, checking solar panels, trying to get water, and mourning my brother killed by Israeli forces. I cook over a fire, wait in line for water, and walk to buy groceries since gas is scarce. People swim at the beach near warships. My life is far from normal due to the ongoing aggression in Gaza. Let me know if your daily life is similar. Translation: My daily life in Gaza City involves facing bombings, water shortages, and mourning loss due to Israeli forces. I cook over a fire, wait for water, and walk to buy groceries without gas. People swim near warships at the beach. My life is far from normal due to the ongoing aggression in Gaza. Let me know if your daily life is similar.

The situation in Gaza is catastrophic. People are terrified and the intensity of violence is shocking. Our colleagues on the ground say it's unlike anything they've experienced before. Entire buildings are being destroyed and hospitals are overwhelmed with a continuous influx of injured patients. The medical teams are exhausted, working around the clock to provide care. All of this is happening amidst intense bombardments.

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.

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.

Over 7,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, are missing in Gaza due to Israel's ongoing assault. The blockade on fuel prevents efficient rescue efforts, leaving many buried under rubble. Israel has bombed and cut off all communications, leaving Palestinians stranded and unable to alert their families. Israel has also illegally taken hundreds of Palestinians captive, subjecting them to torture and abuse. Palestinians need a permanent ceasefire to mourn the dead and reunite with the living. It is crucial to speak out and demand a ceasefire now.

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.

The civil defense in Gaza received over 100,000 distress calls during the Israeli occupation's aggression. Due to restricted access, many calls went unanswered, resulting in bodies found in mass graves after the occupation withdrew. 392 bodies were recovered, with 65 identified and 227 remaining unknown. The international community is urged to intervene and stop the atrocities.

Water tanks, wheat stocks, and bakeries in Gaza City are under threat of bombing, causing a shortage of bread and clean drinking water for the past four days. The lack of electricity hinders the availability of clean water, making even the water obtained from Ngozana undrinkable.

Gaza has been without Internet for 15-16 days, with only limited access in hospitals and government locations. Lack of electricity has become the norm, forcing reliance on solar power. Communication is difficult, with no way to check on loved ones' safety. Seeking Internet access is risky due to bombings and snipers. The struggle continues to connect with the world and share the situation in Gaza.

The struggle continues to connect with the world and share the situation in Gaza.

Hospitals in Gaza have been forced to stop operating due to increased Israeli military activity in the area. The only functioning hospital in Deir el Beleh had to evacuate over 600 patients and medical staff, leaving it understaffed. The Israeli army designated areas around the hospital as a red zone, and there is evidence of fighting nearby. Videos show the dire situation, with people seeking shelter and safety around the hospital. The injured are now left without proper medical assistance. The Israeli army has not yet responded to inquiries. This is part of a pattern of hospitals being severely affected by Israeli military actions.

Il y a eu plus de soixante journalistes tués à Gaza, ce qui rend l'accès à l'information très difficile. Certains journalistes ont réussi à entrer brièvement, comme une journaliste de CNN dans un hôpital. Israël a empêché les journalistes d'entrer, mais malgré cela, des reportages ont été diffusés montrant des enfants blessés. C'est un des pires conflits journalistiques, avec peu d'accès à l'information.

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.

The transcript is a long, candid interview with a 16-year-old Palestinian boy who was born in the United Arab Emirates, lived in Gaza, and has been stuck there since the war began. He shares his daily life under war and a subsequent ceasefire, offering a firsthand look at how people survive when basic services are scarce. Key background - The speaker was born and raised in the UAE, moved to Gaza in 2021 for financial reasons, and his father remains in the UAE while his mother and siblings are with him in Gaza. They have tried to leave Gaza since day one of the war in October 2023 but have not succeeded after two years. - He emphasizes his family’s current safety improved after the ceasefire, noting that “the safe zone has expanded” and that he’s back in his house, though life remains difficult. Life during and after the ceasefire - Since the ceasefire started, there is a sense of tentative normalcy: “the saves zone has expanded,” more trucks and goods are entering stores, and he is back at home. - People are hopeful about the ceasefire, even if only “1%” of hope remains, as many are clinging to any sign of improvement. - The boy describes ongoing exhaustion from two years of war, noting that he wants to return to school, finish high school, and consider university, possibly in America or the UAE, with planned studies in marketing or business. Living conditions and daily necessities - Power relies on solar panels; he charges his phone at a neighbor’s solar setup. - Food and water are precarious. Most markets have scarce, expensive, or poor-quality items; there is a lack of basic foods such as eggs, chicken, and various meats for months. Prices fluctuate sharply; for example, a kilogram of cucumber is now much more expensive than in the UAE (around $5, compared to under $2 before the war). Rent for a two-room apartment is about $500 per month, a high sum in Gaza, and some people paid much more at the onset of the war. - He explains how money gets into Gaza: crypto is used, with a fundraiser in GoFundMe-style format, and a fundraiser manager sends money via crypto to cash exchanges. A notable fee (historically up to about 50%, later down to around 20-20%) is charged to convert crypto to cash. - Electricity is limited; there are some generators in some areas, but many rely on solar power. Water is obtained from wells and the nearby sea; early in the war, he filled up water jugs daily, but the situation has somewhat improved. - Sewage and bathrooms in tents are degraded; tents involve improvised setups with holes and improvised plumbing, especially when rain hits. There is no functioning sewage system in many tents. - Hospitals and medical care: anesthesia exists in some hospitals, but transport to outside Gaza for urgent care can be necessary; ambulances exist but depend on fuel and access. If a person is seriously injured without timely transport, outcomes can be dire. - Education and daily life: schools are destroyed or unusable; studying under siege is extremely challenging. The speaker notes that most people in Gaza face unemployment (the claimed unemployment rate being 99-100%), with many living on aid or in tents. Security and societal dynamics - Security during the war was weak; there were incidents of car theft and people evading identification by removing license plates. After the ceasefire, Hamas has reasserted some police and security roles in the area. - The speaker mentions that his cousin died because he could not access medical treatment promptly during the war. - The boy has used fundraising and humanitarian partnerships (Human Concern International) to distribute aid and sponsor orphans, with daily food distributions continuing through the ceasefire. Social and personal aspects - He notes that many people would leave Gaza if they could find a stable job abroad, while others remain due to lack of options or safety concerns. His own family’s situation remains precarious but currently safer than during peak hostilities. - He continues to document life in Gaza, balancing a resilient, hopeful outlook with the harsh realities around him. He envisions education and a future career, possibly in marketing, and expresses gratitude for the support he has received while acknowledging the ongoing hardship of daily life in a war-torn region.

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.

On the third day of the conflict, the Israeli Defense Council made a decision. They announced a complete siege on Gaza, cutting off electricity, food, water, and gas. Everything is closed. The two million Palestinians living in Gaza, a territory under Israeli blockade since 2007, are now deprived of everything.

Gaza's death toll and civilian injuries continue to rise as airstrikes persist. In the Al Shateh refugee camp, people desperately dig through rubble to save loved ones. Over 440 children have been killed by Israeli airstrikes, according to Gaza's health ministry. Israel claims to target Hamas, but medical facilities, schools, and residential areas have been affected. Displaced individuals, including 47% children, seek refuge in UN-run schools. However, Gaza now faces a complete siege, with no access to water for drinking or hygiene. Schools have been bombed, and many innocent lives lost. The people of Gaza question why they are suffering.

In Gaza, Israeli airstrikes have caused widespread destruction, with drones filling the sky and leaving a neighborhood in ruins. Civilians, who claim innocence, have lost their homes and lives amidst continuous bombings. The Israeli army claims to have targeted 350 strategic locations, including tunnels and meeting places for Hamas soldiers. However, residents accuse Israel of indiscriminate bombing, with houses damaged and lives shattered. The Palestinian government reports that 23,000 homes have already been destroyed, and soon, nearly two million people will face a severe shortage of water and electricity.

Medical equipment in Gaza shows the harsh reality. An Israeli airstrike in Rafa caused a deadly bombing, setting tents and cars on fire in a safe zone. The building is destroyed, with parts collapsing. Life in Gaza is difficult.

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.

People on the ground are gathering evidence and testimonies of the war cry. The lack of equipment has forced fathers to personally collect the remains of their loved ones. Families are unable to grieve, bury, or even think due to the ongoing situation. Even those who fled to the southern part of Gaza have not found safety, as they have been bombed there as well. One father, who left the northern part with his family, lost his son when he went to buy bread and was killed in an attack on the market.

Gazans face numerous challenges as Hamas fires rockets from mosques and steals fuel meant for water supplies. The corrupt government in Gaza has neglected investments in electricity and water, falsely blaming Israel for the shortages. The ongoing war is a result of Hamas' acts of violence, including murder, rape, and invasion of Israel. It is important to recognize that we all share the same problem.
