YouTube Description
as posted by the channelGaza is the deadliest place in the world for journalists, and yet, the need for Palestinian journalists has never been more important. Plestia Alaqad was just 21 years old when she began documenting Israel’s assault on Gaza, and she is now the author of The Eyes of Gaza: A Diary of Resilience, a new book revealing her diary entries in the days, weeks, and months that followed Oct. 7.
“I never thought that I would actually write and document about a genocide that I’m living,” she tells Mehdi Hasan.
In this wide-ranging interview, Mehdi asks Plestia about her experiences reporting from Gaza, Israel’s threats against her, and whether she still thinks journalism out of Gaza can actually make an impact.
