This episode of "The Global Story" focuses on the experiences of Ghada Al-Kurd, a freelance journalist in Gaza City, during the recent conflict. Due to the Israeli government blocking international media, the BBC producer Hannah Moore contacted and interviewed Ghada to understand the situation on the ground. Ghada shares her personal diary entries and conversations, detailing the challenges of reporting amidst airstrikes, evacuations, and the constant threat to her safety and her family's well-being. She describes the impact of the war on the Gazan people, including loss of life, displacement, and the destruction of infrastructure, and also shares her hopes for a better future following the announced ceasefire, while also highlighting the ongoing struggles and uncertainties.
