Ylen Uutispodcast interviewed an eyewitness of the war in Gaza.
When Israel attacked Gaza last October, a Gazan in his thirties Suha decided to leave his home in Gaza City. Suha packed a few things for her two small children in a backpack, and they went south about ten kilometers to al-Nusairat, where the children’s grandparents lived.
For the rest of the journey, the family broke their leg as shells exploded around them.
– When we had to walk over people’s blood and body parts, I tried to cover the children’s eyes, Suha tells Uutispodcast in an interview.
The war in Gaza started when the extremist organization Hamas made a terrorist attack on Israel on the seventh of October. Lasted more than half a year the war has demanded over 33,000 Gazan lives. More than 13,000 of the victims are children.
Now Suha and her children have reached safety in Finland.
Western journalists have not been able to report on the spot in Gaza, and the Gazans who lived in the middle of the war have hardly been interviewed in the Finnish media. That’s why Uutispodcast is now telling about the experiences of one family from Gaza during the war.
What is the daily life of Gazans like in the middle of the war? And how did Suha manage to escape from Gaza and what does he think about the Israeli attack on Gaza that has already lasted six months?
