Tonight the second part of the BBC's reports from the region was shown, this time "Life and Death in Gaza BBC 2, 9 to 10pm, also on catch up I player.
"The experiences of four Gazans as they live through the ongoing conflict. Filmed by the participants themselves over the course of a year, the documentary follows Khalid, Aya, Adam, and Aseel and their families as they endure bombing raids, multiple evacuations, family separations, deaths and even a birth"
BBC comment:
It’s safe to say this will be a tough watch, but an important one.
After two recent documentaries that evoked the horrors of the Hamas attack on Israel last October, a feature-length Storyville shows the impact that the resulting war has had on ordinary Palestinians
We will follow four Gazans as they document their daily lives over the course of a year, through bombing raids and evacuations, family separations and reunions, deaths and a childbirth amid the chaos.
Khalid is a physiotherapist and father of five. Aya is a women’s rights advocate who recently graduated from law school.
Adam is a youth worker for an NGO. Aseel is a young pregnant mother with a toddler. For each of them, the war tests their resilience, while some have to contend with a corrupt trade in evacuations that feeds on desperation and misery.
(I'm not watching it today, but feel its a must watch to hear from the other side of the border)
