Sanaa Kamal is a freelance journalist, who was born and raised in Gaza.


She has lived through a series of wars in Gaza, but nothing like the war that followed the Hamas-led attacks of October 7th.


In this five-part podcast from The New Arab in London, Sanaa tells her story. From the first day of the war, escaping her home, and narrowly avoiding attacks, to finding a way for her and her family survive as the bombs continued to rain down and the food began to run out, to trying to continue her work as a journalist, and report on a tragedy that was tearing her life apart.


Producer: Hugo Goodridge.
