Welcome to this new episode.

It will be a bit different from what you are used to listening to on our mic, as my guests are two colleagues from Super-Novae.

One is Loai. Loai is Super-Novae’s country director in Gaza. The other one is Maurane. She is our desk officer for the region.

In October 2023, the conflict between Israel and Gaza escalated once again. Resulting from various intrigues and stakeholders, it is a very sensitive topic that has impacts way outside the territorial borders. In this episode, we are not going to discuss the conflict itself. We believe, as a development and humanitarian organization, that our role is not to take sides but rather to make every effort to pursue our mandate with those in need and to support the right to life, security, and dignity.

So, in this episode, we'll listen to Loai telling us about the reality in which he lives as a human being, head of a family, but also as staff of Super-Novae. Since communication networks have been extremely fragile since October, Loai has sent us a set of voice notes. We beg your indulgence for the sound quality.

On the other side of the micro, we'll be listening to Maurane's reactions and bringing another side of reality, that of the rest of the organization, who, while waiting to be able to play a part in the aid effort, can only witness the situation.
