A Triptych of Gaza: 365 days of tragedy ...

The New Arab
About this episode

It has been one year since the start of the war in Gaza.

What started with an appalling crime was repaid with further crimes and relentless tragedy.

This week on The New Arab Voice podcast, on the anniversary of the start of the war in Gaza, we look at three aspects: health, justice, and future.

What is state of healthcare in Gaza? How much aid is getting in? What disease are spreading? What toll has 12 months of brutal conflict had on people's mental health?

What is the state of the international criminal case against the leaders of Hamas and Israel? What is the timeline for international litigation? Can Israel be protected by its allies? Is the ICC still a deterrent?

What will the 'day after' in Gaza look like? Who will pay for the reconstruction, and will the situation every be suitable for reconstruction? And who will govern Gaza in the future.


Joining us to look back over the past 12 months and the future ahead, we have three guests.
