In this special edition of ��ѿ��ý OS Conversations, we look back over the past 12 months of the conflict between Israel and Hamas through the conversations we have recorded. It’s almost two years since Hamas militants attacked Israel – killing 1200 people and taking 251 hostage. In response, the Israeli government vowed to destroy Hamas. Since then – according to the Hamas-run health ministry – more than 60,000 people have been killed in air and ground attacks, the United Nations says that most of the population has had to leave their homes, and half a million are facing starvation. Throughout the conflict, we have spoken to families of those killed by Hamas or taken hostage. “It’s heartbreaking what is happening to our hostages and it’s heartbreaking to see what is happening in Gaza,” Sharone tells us. One of our producers, Kristina, has also been receiving regular voice notes from 17-year-old Sanabel in Gaza. “October 7th is what I hate the most,” Sanabel says. “Because of this date, I lost everything in my life, literally everything.” Presenter: Rahul Tandon ��ѿ��ý Producers: Ben Davis, Iqra Farooq and Kristina Volk Boffin Media producer: Richard Hollingham An EcoAudio certified Boffin Media production in partnership with the OS team.
