How has life changed in Israel and Gaza?
It’s been one year since the attacks on the 7th October.
One year ago, Palestinian militant group Hamas launched an cross-border attack on Israel. It was the deadliest day in Israel’s history: Around 1,200 people were killed, and another 250 people were taken as hostages. Israel began a massive campaign of air strikes on Gaza, which has killed 41,000 people according to the Hamas-run health ministry. Tensions have escalated across this region, with Israel launching a military campaign in Lebanon.
Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµâ€™s Shaina Oppenheimer in Jerusalem explains how life has changed for Israelis, the impact of the attacks on the 7th October and the ongoing hostage crisis.
Israel does not allow the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ - or other international media - to report independently from inside Gaza. We speak to Kristina Völk, a Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ journalist in London, who has been speaking to Palestinians in Gaza for over a year. She tells us their account of how life has changed in Gaza.
