In the wake of Hamas’s attacks on 7 October, which involved atrocities against civilians, Israel has declared war on Gaza. The country’s military—one of the most powerful in the world—is attacking hospitals, schools, mosques, markets, infrastructure and residential areas. Civilians are being slaughtered and a total siege has been imposed, preventing vital supplies and aid from entering the besieged territory and worsening the already dire situation of residents. 
On the program today, we hear an interview between Anjuman Rahman and Aseel Safi.  Anjuman is a reporter for Middle East Monitor, and Aseel is a student based in Gaza.
