About this Event

Join Hind Khoudary in conversation with Séamus Malekafzali and Ahmed Zidan for an urgent conversation on journalism under siege and the extraordinary sacrifices made by Gazan reporters to document the truth.

As Israel’s genocide in Gaza transitions to a slower phase, hundreds of journalists have been martyred, maimed and targtedd—simply for bearing witness. Khoudary will share her firsthand testimony from Gaza, speaking candidly about survival, responsibility, and the costs of telling the truth.

The event will be live-streamed for those unable to attend in person and will conclude with an audience Q&A.
