The Sound of Children

Jan 11th, 2009 by

A wounded Palestinian child screams as she arrives at Shifa Hospital after an Israeli air strike in Gaza City. Like tear-drops in rain.

    The World’s Eyes in Gaza

    Gaza City] Outside, there is chaos. And to most, that is the story.

    The loud booms of aerial bombardments erupt without notice, sending the few souls braving the streets scurrying for shelter. Most of those seeking sanctuary share a common heritage: they are Palestinians and residents of Gaza City. And few have anything to do with their days except to survive.

    But the telling media story emerging from the conflict takes place in a building located in the Ramal area in the heart of Gaza City: a building that has so far escaped new bullet holes and shrapnel marks from this war, even though it bears scars from the fierce Fatah-Hamas street fighting of 2007. It houses the Ramattan news agency.

    Although 120 men and women are normally on duty at Ramattan, war-related necessities have reduced it to 60 by day and 30 at night. But while war rages outside, inside the agency the task-at-hand is great, the atmosphere frenetic. Anything resembling normal sleep has been replaced by grabbing catnaps anywhere and anytime possible. Food, too, is catch-as-catch-can. It’s all become part and parcel of being the eyes and ears of the world: witnessing the most watched news story of the day unfold live – panorama or stand-up – just outside the door.

    The link I posted at 389 now has disembodied outdoor sounds but live(?) pics of the Ramattan Journalists (presumably) in the Gaza city office.
    Very weird.
