  "account": "Middle East Eye has introduced a new podcast named The Gaza Podcast, which aims to share the personal stories of Palestinians living in Gaza during Israel's ongoing war. The podcast, hosted by Hussam Tannera, a survivor of the conflict, will focus on the day-to-day experiences of ordinary Gazans, including displacement, loss, survival, and life under Israel's genocidal regime. The first episode features Mariam Yusuf, a recent medical graduate who shares her harrowing experiences, including being forced into quarantine after contracting chickenpox, losing loved ones to starvation, and grappling with grief amidst the destruction. The podcast's co-founder and editor-in-chief, David Hearst, emphasizes that Gaza has been reduced to numbers, and this platform allows Palestinians to tell their own stories and relate their experiences. The launch of the podcast comes as Gaza continues to face immense hardship, with most of the population displaced and living in overcrowded and precarious conditions. Israel's atrocities in Gaza and its occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem have led to widespread diplomatic criticism and international legal proceedings. The Gaza Podcast provides Palestinians with a platform to share their lives beyond the statistics, including the impact on children, who have been disproportionately affected, with at least 20,179 children killed since the war began and 20,179 more killed during the ceasefire.",
