The New Year is approaching, but a new round of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict continues. In Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip, a 9-year-old war correspondent uses her lens to document the lives of people in Gaza.
The little girl in front of me is the 9-year-old war correspondent Rama. Since the outbreak of the new Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the number of casualties in the Gaza Strip has been rising. As the conflict escalated and a large number of people were displaced, this is what happened to Rama. With the encouragement of her family, Rama began to record what was happening around her on camera and made videos on social media, hoping to make the voice of Palestinians heard.
"I like to post videos on social media about the war in Gaza, and I want to get our voice out to the world – to end the [Gaza] war," said young war correspondent Rama. The war has had a severe impact on Palestinian children, who are starving and suffering without food and water. ”
Rama's father was a journalist and was influenced by his father, who also hoped that he would become a journalist when he grew up. Today, Rama's social media accounts have 500,000 followers, and she is using her own way to let the world know about what's happening in the Gaza Strip.
According to data from the Gaza health department, Israeli military operations in the Gaza Strip have killed more than 20,000 people, mostly women and children, since a new round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict broke out on October 7. For a large number of people in Gaza, who are homeless, a ceasefire as soon as possible is their New Year's resolution.
