‘No safe place’: the BBC documentary showing Gaza through a child’s eyes

BBC Two's Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone gathers intimate footage of three children surviving in the besieged strip

Have you ever wondered what you'd do if your world is destroyed?" asks 13-year-old Abdullah, speaking at the beginning of an intimate BBC Two documentary, Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone, that airs on Monday night. Most important, could you stay alive? After all this, you could say we're experts."

Abdullah, now 14 and heading back to his prewar home in the north of the shattered territory, is the English-speaking narrator - one of three children whose stories of hope and endurance are at the heart of an hour-long film, a distinctive and deliberate choice intended to make the film resonate after 15 months of war.
