Palestinian journalist dedicates award to protesters around the world who are supporting Gaza.
Palestinian journalist Bisan Owda and AJ+ have won a Peabody Award for coverage of the devastating impact Israel’s war on the Gaza Strip has had on Palestinians in the besieged enclave.
One of the highest honours in journalism, the award was unveiled on Thursday for the first video in Owda’s series for AJ+ on daily life under Israel’s bombardment.
“Good morning, everyone. This is Bisan from Gaza,” Owda says in the video, which has more than 1.3 million views and was published on November 3, less than a month into the Israeli military’s offensive.
“I’m smiling because I’m alive,” she says.
Owda, 25, has been reporting daily from Gaza since the beginning of the war, which has now stretched into its seventh month and killed more than 34,900 Palestinians.
