For our first live interview of 2025, we go to Deir al-Balah in the Gaza Strip to get an update from Palestinian journalist Shrouq Aila, the head of Ain Media, a media company founded by her late husband, Roshdi Sarraj, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike in October 2023. Aila describes worsening conditions in the winter rain and cold, and the complete hollowing out of infrastructure as Palestinians are struggling to survive. "Being here in Gaza means I'm doing a change," she says about her "duty" to report. Her dedication to reporting on Israel's now 15-month-long assault on Gaza was recently honored by the Committee to Protect Journalists.
