16th May 2022: We’re live with Gaza youth one year on since Israel’s devastating aggressions on the besieged enclave which killed over 240 Palestinians, including at least 66 children.

We catch up with two of panellists from last year's live show (Bahzad and Raed) where bombs could be heard falling in the background and meet a new member of We Are Not Numbers, Samah Atef.

Find out what life has been like on the ground in the world’s ‘largest open-air prison’ for Gaza youth as the mainstream media continues to largely ignore their voices. 

Samah Atef Samah is a Palestinian translator, content writer and member of We Are Not Numbers.

Dr Bahzad Alakhras Bahzad is a medical doctor from Gaza. He studied a masters in Child and Adolescents Mental Health at King's College London. Now, he works as a mental health doctor at Gaza Community Mental Health Program, an essential NGO working in the field in Gaza.
