An update from Save the Children, plus a conversation with Palestinian American poet Zeina Azzam

A farming family from northern Gaza is pictured here living an a cramped tent.
Save the Children
Feras*, 62, is a farmer and grandfather from northern Gaza. He lived in a big house with his children and grandchildren, and used to farm his land and make good living. They all now live in a cramped tent of 16 Square meters, which Feras* finds really challenging, especially with children who need space to play.

There are approximately 2.45 million people who need humanitarian assistance in Gaza. And the entire population is now at risk of famine. That’s according to Save the Children, an international NGO and humanitarian aid organization based in Connecticut.

Today, we hear from Janti Soeripto, President & CEO of Save the Children.

And later, Where We Live has been covering the Israel-Hamas War, and exploring how the conflict and history of this region has been captured through the arts. We hear from Palestinian American poet and community activist Zeina Azzam.

She is the current poet laureate of Alexandria, Virginia and She is also the Author of Some Things Never Leave You.
