‘We can’t find anything to eat’: Interviews with Palestinian children in Gaza City

What’s it like to be a kid living through a war? Working with CBC Kids News, freelance videographer Mohamed El Saife spoke to children living in Gaza City on Aug. 3.

Gaza City is the largest city in Gaza, a Palestinian territory that has been devastated by an ongoing war between Israel and Hamas since October 2023. The children described the difficulties they’ve faced, like not being able to attend school, going hungry, losing their homes and seeing loved ones die. Some of the children have been using music to uplift their spirits and the spirits of those around them.
