Martine Laroche Joubert 2024

Since the start of Operation Iron Sword, Gaza has become a devastated landscape. With 1.5 million displaced, hospitals barely functioning, and food scarce, survival is a daily struggle. Through the eyes of 29-year-old Gazan journalist Shrouq, a widowed mother constantly on the run, this documentary offers a rare, intimate view from inside a war zone. As aid falters, violence surges, and children fetch water and play on ruined beaches, life continues in fragments. Behind statistics lie stories of resilience and despair, told from a place where the future feels out of reach.
