Living and Reporting in Gaza: An Exclusive Interview with CGTN’s Noor Harazeen
In the midst of the conflict-ridden Gaza Strip, journalists risk their lives to bring stories to the world. Among them is CGTN’s Noor Harazeen, who has been a steadfast voice reporting from the heart of Gaza, even as bombs fall around her.
Harazeen’s journey is not just about journalism; it’s about a profound sense of duty and responsibility. “It’s more than a job,” she reflects. “It’s a responsibility, a duty to tell the stories of those who might otherwise remain unheard.”
Covering the most significant story of her career, Harazeen faces daily challenges. The infrastructure is in ruins, making even basic communication a hurdle. Despite this, she continues to report, providing live updates and insights into the unfolding events in Gaza.
The personal toll is immense. Harazeen has lost colleagues, friends, and family members to the conflict. Yet, she remains resolute. “Every loss is a reminder of why I do this,” she says. “To honor them by sharing the reality of our lives here.”
Balancing her professional responsibilities with personal life is a constant struggle. As a mother, she supports her children amidst the chaos, ensuring they feel safe while she navigates the dangers of reporting in a conflict zone.
Harazeen’s dedication exemplifies the courage of journalists in conflict areas. Her stories not only inform the global audience but also provide a human perspective on the impact of war on everyday lives.
“The world needs to see what’s happening here,” she urges. “Not just the explosions, but the people behind the headlines.”
Through her lens, Harazeen continues to bridge the gap between Gaza and the world, sharing stories of resilience, hope, and the unyielding spirit of her community.
