Palestinian Journalist on Gaza: “There Are Situations Your Heart Can’t Take” | Amanpour and Company

- The day after the October 7th attack, Israel launched its counteroffensive on Hamas in Gaza. The Israeli government claims it has killed thousands of militants and severely degraded the terror group's command structure. But after a year of war, airstrikes, tank fire, artillery and guns, more than 40,000 Gazans also are dead - including thousands of women and noncombatants and at least 16,000 children, according to the authorities there. Also among the dead are more than 100 journalists - the world's only eyes and ears since the banning of the foreign press. Youmna ElSayed, an Al Jazeera correspondent, joined this program last year from Gaza to describe the reality of working there. Since that interview, Youmna has fled Gaza with her family. Ten months on, she joins the show to discuss how hard it was to leave, and the stories she could not bring herself to tell at the time.

Thank you. When I stopped seeing her on Al Jazeera I worried the worst may have happened. I'm so glad Youmna and her children are safe.
I'm very pleased to hear from a Palestinian on national news who is allowed to speak freely on what Israel really does to people over there. Even if it's PBS alone who is doing it. Thank you Amanpour & Co. I'm glad she was able to get herself & family out safe. 🇵🇸❤️
I wanted to listen more, but the stories of the children were some of the most heartbreaking things I have ever heard. When will it end?
Thank you
Fighting for freedom equality equality people land and sovereignty is not terrorism at all free illegally oppressed occupied Palestine 😢😢😢😢😢😢❤
Please publish the open letter sent by 99 US doctors who served in Gaza to Biden and US congress. Do you have courage to do that? Do you have humanity to do that?
Youmna ElSayed ✌🏻🇵🇸✌🏻
Egypt just got put on my naughty list. The list is getting long. You don't withhold an education from traumatized children, you do the opposite, for these little ones of God.
Thank you for following the path that you knew you needed to take and for your voice to be heard, your convictions, your gift, on behalf if the Palestinian people. You're children are precious, you did as you were directed, their lives and safety must come even before your job. For you were entrusted with them, to care and protect them, to raise them up for they are a true gift from God. Take heart my sweet strong sister, you are loved. ♾
The veracity of her perspective, balanced by the empathy in how her narrative was upheld with compassion, would be an apogee in ethical reporting if it was suppressed by the inherent political biases to her identity in reporting. Harrowing truth from two amazing journalists. In this I’m reminded by this discourse, of the value of an independent fourth estate in providing a conduit of perspective into the human condition when challenged by the brutality of the political variables anathema to the conscience of humanity. Rather than institutionalism for corporate agenda setting in framing reality to the lens of commercial market interests. Thank you all.
The number of martyrs in Gaza exceeded 300,000 martyrs and missing persons.
Finally, someone credible (THE LANCET, a British Medical Journal), crunched the numbers and the real genocide figures came to light.
Estimates are based on epidemiological studies that conclude that for every person killed as a result of military action, between three and twenty additional people are killed as a result. This means that the death toll may exceed 646,000 martyrs.
The number of killed and missing in Gaza/Palestine far exceeds the publicized number of "over 38,000
Late June the news reported 21,000 children are missing or imprisoned. How do the 21,000 relate to the 38,000 killed by the Zionist Regime?
What is over 38,000? Is it 38,001? 38,010? 38,100? 39,000? 360,000? 3,600,000?
As of the last third of April 2024: I read an anonymous posting that claimed that the actual number is 200,000 victims, within a week, an anonymous German person, set the number of victims at 1/3 million, or 333,333 killed and missing.
I wondered how they came up with those number until last week when news came out about the AI program and how it works.
Raw data:
1- The number of people on the list is 37,000
2- The average Palestinian family size is 5.6 individuals in the Gaza Strip.
3- The number of “dumb” bombs dropped on Gaza and used to support this AI program is 29,000 bombs.
4- According to a Wall Street Journal report, Israeli bombs have destroyed over 300,000 of the 439,000 homes in Gaza, which is more than 70% of the homes in the city.
5- The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) estimates that at least 40,000 of those homes have been completely destroyed.
Calculations:
1- Numbers of people on the list X Average Gaza family size 37,000 X 5.6= 207,200
2- The number of “dumb” bombs X Average Gaza family 29,000 X 5.6= 162,400
3- WSJ report on homes destroyed X Average Gaza family 300,000 X 5.6= 1,680,000
4- The UN report on homes destroyed X Average Gaza family 40,000 X 5.6= 224,000
Ignoring the 1,680,000 as outlier, and looking at the other 3 numbers, we find the MEAN to be 162,400 and the average 207,200+ 162,400 + 224,000 =593,600.
593,600 / 3= 197,866
This means, the death toll in Gaza is nearly six times the number being publicized.
Nut&Yahoo wants to continue the WANTON GENOCIDE FOR TWO YEARS TO COMPLETELY ANNIHILATE THE POPULATION.
I thank you for sharing your story Youmna. This conflict needs to end. It should have ended long ago. There is no excuse for this lack if humanity. For targeting anyone other than Hamas. Far too many innocents have been displaced, killed, maimed, starved, have little to no access to medical care which is propagating Polio.
@christineleitner960 Yep.. where is your post showing concern about the innocent Israeli civilians killed Oct 7 2023? I couldn't find that in your comment history? Where are your posts condemning Hamas for the harm it has brought to its own people since they took over Gaza? You're either, bigoted, ignorant or a hypocrite. Pick one?
@@MIA_DaDe There is no excuse for what occurred on October 7th. As my post clearly notes, Hamas is to blame, not innocent civilians. Innocent civilians that include Jews, Non-Hamas Palestinians, international aide workers and reporters.
we are the real chosen people who are good distance away from this madness judging not to judge ourselves in silence just like our direct ancestors were the real chosen or we wouldn't be here. Christian, Jewish or Muslim
We are there, the weapons are postmarked Made in the USA.
😢😢😢😢😢
Stay safe
Just think - all the pain and suffering in Gaza is all caused by Hamas. Why doesn't the Palestinian people speak out against Hamas? Iran? Playing victim when you caused this mess is a bit on the crazy spectrum.
Europe & US took all Ukrainian Civilian refugees , so why can't 57 OIC nations take in all Palestinian civilians ???
if Saudi Arabia is for Islamics only , then declare Israel/Gaza/West Bank for Jews only.
No such thing as a "Palestinian." Don't believe me? Ask the "palestinian" leaders themselves. ask anyone who lives in the middle east and understands history.
Have the terrorists released all the Israeli hostages and surrendered?
Don’t start a war you cannot win! That is the lesson here. You people are talking around the true issue. Hamas started the war, you should be telling them to stop firing at Israel and surrender
Seriously, on 10/7?
"Ezz-slaam" - poisons human soul, perverts human mind.
your thoughts are a real poison to human min if you think Islam is poison. lack of knowledge and ignorance is very obvious in your thinking, never argue with ignorance. you lost already the debate.
When injustice become law so resistance become the duty free Palestine 🇵🇸 😢😢😢😢😢
Free illegally oppressed occupied Palestine 🇵🇸 😢😢😢😢
Palestinians are oppressed by themselves. They support Hamas. Hamas brought this on to their people while the leaders of Hamas live the good life elsewhere. Where is the outrage?
Free illegally oppressed occupied Palestine 🇵🇸 😢😢😢😢
