Al Jazeera Media Network stands behind Bisan Owda's reporting in Gaza for AJ+ - in the face of a campaign to silence her. Her journalism has been honored by a number of prestigious bodies through rigorous and independent processes. It is a unique, historic and innovative testament to the struggles faced by Palestinians in the territory. We urge the journalistic and creative communities to join us in standing with Bisan. https://lnkd.in/g8SeAjAD

We are honored that the series 'It's Bisan from Gaza - and I'm Still Alive' has been recognized with a Murrow Award for Best Video Series by the Radio Television Digital News Association (RTDNA). This is well-deserved recognition for Bisan - who continues to report under the most challenging circumstances imaginable - and the AJ+ team that has produced such accessible and journalistically rigorous material. We only wish that there was more recognition for Bisan's colleagues in Gaza. As of today, by the Committee to Protect Journalists' count, 113 journalists and media workers have been killed in the territory since October 7. It's the deadliest period since the CPJ began gathering data in 1992. Please read Maram Humaid's piece - 'The world has forgotten us' - and take the time to remember the work of your Palestinian journalist colleagues in Gaza https://lnkd.in/eRdVinxa

"Mommy was killed by a missile." Since October 7, 2023, over 17,000 children in Gaza have been orphaned, now living in camps with limited resources. Journalist Bisan Owda shares their heartbreaking stories through interviews with caretaker relatives and a nurse who has become a surrogate mother to one of the children left at her hospital. These children, left with nothing, fight for a future amid the chaos. Is this the true cost of war?

Like many people in the last few months, I've been following Bisan's journey as she documents the war in Gaza. Therefore, it was beyond exciting for me to collaborate as a producer and an editor on this Peabody-winning series for the first time. I have always wondered how our destiny is determined by where we are born; this story proves that. These children didn't choose to be born in a war zone, and yet they are suffering the worst consequences of it. Malak taught me that knowing my birthday and my family name was just another thing I took for granted. Little Isel reminded me how I kept thinking that fireworks were explosions when I first came to the U.S. from Syria. Unlike the unfortunate three-year-old, I was lucky I didn't lose any of my loved ones in the war. You can watch the story below. Huge shout out to the team at AJ+, which is among the best I've ever collaborated with. Another thank you goes to the SOS Children's Villages, which were very responsive to my inquiries and continue to care for the children on the ground despite of the circumstances.
