Sanaa Kamal is a freelance journalist, who was born and raised in Gaza.
She has lived through a series of wars in Gaza, but nothing like the war that followed the Hamas-led attacks of October 7th.
In this five-part podcast from The New Arab in London, Sanaa tells her story. From the first day of the war, escaping her home, and narrowly avoiding attacks, to finding a way for her and her family survive as the bombs continued to rain down and the food began to run out, to trying to continue her work as a journalist, and report on a tragedy that was tearing her life apart.

As the war in Gaza continues to rage, Sanaa has to continue working as a journalist.
Sanaa has been working as a journalist for 19 years, and while she has witnessed many wars in Gaza, the current conflict has been the most difficult to report on. Already forced from her home, she had to struggle to continue to produce stories, while also wondering how she was going to be able to charge her phone, or find a signal to send a story. At the same time, she had to protect herself and her family from Israeli airstrikes, as best as she could, which appeared to be targeting journalists.
In episode three of Sanaa's Odyssey, we talk to Sanaa about her career as a journalist, what it means to be a journalist in Gaza, and how this war was different from everything that came before.
Sanaa's Odyssey is written and produced by Hugo Goodridge.
