8. Reporting on Gaza with Youmna El Sayed

The Palestinian-Egyptian journalist Youmna El Sayed was for many people the media face of the war on Gaza.

Soon she found herself in the surreal position of reporting on the same calamities she was facing herself. She and her husband and children have been displaced several times and at times did not have enough food or water. She has since chosen to evacuate Gaza for the sake of her kids. At the moment, she’s travelling the Western world, advocating for the Palestinian cause.
