This is episode 4 of our new podcast, Sanaa's Odyssey.

By April 2024, Sanaa and her family decided that it was time to get out of Gaza.


They had experienced seven months of the brutal conflict, been forced from their homes, and lost countless friends and family members.


At the time, the only way out of Gaza was through the Rafah border crossing. And while deciding to leave was one thing, the actually task of crossing, was a whole different matter.


In episode four of Sanaa's Odyssey, we follow Sanaa and her family as they navigate the murky business of migration and difficult decisions they had to make when it came time to cross.


Sanaa's Odyssey is written and produced by Hugo Goodridge.
