Script:

Sami Abu Salem risks everything to tell the story of people in Gaza. The Palestinian journalist has been displaced at least 12 times since the war began. Conditions have long been tough, but Israel cutting off all supplies to Gaza at the start of March makes it even worse.

“The siutation is draining. Journalists in Gaza spend most of their day searching for water and food. Only then can we turn to work and gather news, because survival is the priority — feeding my children comes first”

Abu Salem works for the Palestinian Authority’s news agency WAFA and for international media. He says every aspect of the job is a struggle.

To gather news ​​we need electricity, internet access, energy sources, and information sources. We must move from place to place, but traveling by car is dangerous because of ongoing shelling. and let's not forget the Technical issues we face. My cell phone is becoming obsolete. Right now, I’m using my phone to write a report and it hurts my eyes. I should be working on my laptop, but it's broken and needs a new battery. There are no spare parts for cameras, laptops, and phones.

Many journalists work out of makeshift offices - like this one -  where Shorouq Shaheen reports for a Syrian TV network. She says nowhere is safe. Many of her colleagues have been killed.

“Today, each time we bid farewell to a fellow journalist, we wonder who will be the next journalist? It could be me, a friend, or a colleague. I don’t know. But in these difficult circumstances, this war is against everyone and has no mercy on anyone:  not paramedics, doctors, nurses, civil defense crews, civilians, children or women. Why would it show mercy to journalists?”

The Committee to Protect Journalists says 176 journalists have been killed so far, but others put the number higher.

The Israeli Defense Forces deny targeting journalists, claiming some of those killed were de facto Hamas or Islamic Jihad operatives, disguised as journalists.

The constant danger makes it even more difficult to do the work properly.

And they also have to navigate layers of pressure - from ruling militant group Hamas, and in the form of allegations of bias and complicity from abroad. 
And Palestinian journalists are on their own - Israel has not allowed international journalists to go in. 
03:07 +++Sami Abu Salem, Palestinian journalist, ARA+++
"We are accused of bias. Fine -then allow foreign journalists in. But they want to isolate people here and commit massacres and killing families and children without witnesses, without oversight since they always try to discredit our Palestinian narrative."

These professional challenges mix with personal traumas. Both Shaheen and Abu Salem have lost their homes. Several members of Abu Salem’s family have been killed in Israeli bombings. And yet they keep working.
