Journalist from Gaza: I AM Hungry While Speaking Live on Air
In a heartbreaking moment that captures the depth of suffering in Gaza, journalist Yafa Abu Akar appeared live on air and spoke the truth plainly and honestly:
“I am hungry.”
With simple, sincere words, Yafa expressed the reality faced by thousands of families worn down by blockade and shattered by war. Her statement wasn’t just a broadcast—it was a testimony from within the pain, from a woman living through the hardship every day. She said:
“I can’t stand because of hunger. We are not weak, but war has broken our bones, and the siege has hollowed out our stomachs.”
Her voice carried both the professionalism of a reporter and the raw humanity of someone suffering. She didn’t speak only as a journalist—but as a mother, a sister, a neighbor, and a Palestinian who feels the pain of the people because she lives it.

In a time when many hide behind cold neutrality, Yafa chose to be a mirror of harsh reality. She bravely declared:
“If telling the truth is shameful, then let me be the first shame.”
Yafa’s message was not a plea—it was a cry from the heart of Gaza to the conscience of the world: our children are hungry, our people are dying in silence, and we deserve to be seen, to be understood, to be saved.
This is how Yafa Abu Akar spoke—and with her words, she etched a sincere chapter in the history of humanitarian journalism, where news becomes a tear, truth becomes pain, and words become resistance.
