The siege on Gaza continues, and so too does Accent of Women’s campaign for a Free Palestine.

More than 5,000 people are now reported to have been killed across the Gaza Strip, , since Israel began its bombardment in response to Hamas’ defensive attack on 7 October, in which at least 1,400 people were killed and 222 taken hostage.

Israel has also cut off electricity and most water and stopped imports of food and medicine, although it has allowed in a few aid carrying trucks through Egypt's Rafah crossing.

For more on what is happening directly in Gaza, I interviewed Aseel Safi, a student and activist based in Gaza.
