"Worst Days of My Life": Plestia Alaqad on Surviving 45 Days of Gaza Genocide
We speak with Plestia Alaqad, an award-winning Palestinian journalist whose on-the-ground reporting from Gaza captured global attention during the early days of Israel's military assault two years ago. Then just 21 years old, her video dispatches went viral and offered the world a rare glimpse of life under bombardment. Alaqad, who fled Gaza with her family in late 2023, has now published "The Eyes of Gaza: A Diary of Resistance," drawn from the diary she kept in the weeks following October 7, 2023.
