We look at the targeting of journalists in Gaza with journalist Shrouq Aila, who joins us from Deir al-Balah in central Gaza. Aila's husband Roshdi Sarraj, a fellow journalist and co-founder of the production company Ain Media, was killed in an Israeli airstrike on their home in October. Aila recounts how Sarraj's shielding of her and her 1-year-old daughter saved their lives. Everything went into dust, in just a second," she says. As she mourned, Aila continued her work as a journalist and took over Sarraj's place at Ain Media, saying her commitment as a journalist means a duty of documenting the reality of the ground," no matter what.
