About this episode
The latest reporting from Gaza describes a humanitarian crisis of catastrophic proportions. Children are starving; families face impossible choices between food and safety. Hospitals cannot function and medical staff are too weak to help patients. We talk to aid workers and journalists reporting from both sides of Israel’s near-total blockade of supplies going into Gaza about what they’re witnessing and what it will take to save lives.
Guests:
Bel Trew, chief international correspondent, The Independent
Youmna ElSayed, Gaza correspondent reporting from Egypt, Al Jazeera
Tjada D'Oyen McKenna, chief executive officer, Mercy Corps
Maram Husaid, digital correspondent in Gaza, Al Jazeera
