Filmed from the first days of the war, Khalid, Aya, Adam, and Aseel document their own lives as they endure bombing raids, multiple evacuations, family separations and reunions, deaths, and even the birth of a new life amidst the chaos. <\/p>\n<p>Click here to subscribe to our channel \ud83d\udc49\ud83c\udffd https:\/\/bbc.in\/3VyyriM <\/p>\n<p>Self-shot over the course of a year, the film captures the fight for survival through direct, personal experiences. Interwoven with these are observational scenes filmed by other filmmakers on the ground, as well as personal archives from before the war. Together, they tell a uniquely human story about the first year of the war in Gaza, challenging assumptions about the conflict and those caught in it. The film showcases stories of resilience, loss, and hope amid a deep and desperate humanitarian crisis. <\/p>\n<p>This film forms part of a group of programmes marking the 7 October anniversary and the Israel-Gaza war. Other programming includes the BBC Storyville documentary, Surviving October 7th: We Will Dance Again, available on BBC iPlayer.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udfa5 Watch this documentary in ARABIC here: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=YDAXxDQxVI8<\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udf9e\ufe0f Watch more investigative journalism from our award-winning BBC Eye team at this documentary playlist: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLz_B0PFGIn4fADt3h_U2SOWErIq-xtXPD<\/p>\n<p>00:00 Gaza before the war<br \/>\n02:47 7th October 2023<br \/>\n03:51 Title: Life and Death in Gaza<br \/>\n04:00 Early days of the war<br \/>\n10:38 Adam loses his dad<br \/>\n15:05 Aya seeks refuge in a school<br \/>\n20:51 Khalid stays in the north<br \/>\n26:02 Aya\u2019s location gets bombed<br \/>\n29:04 Adam returns to the family home<br \/>\n32:24 Aseel on her last days of pregnancy<br \/>\n34:49 \u201cEveryone in the Gaza Strip is targeted\u201d<br \/>\n37:53 Adam in Rafah<br \/>\n39:33 Aseel gives birth<br \/>\n43:13 Khalid&#8217;s neighbourhood gets bombed<br \/>\n45:28 Aseel flees Deir al-Balah with family<br \/>\n53:59 Adam plans to leave Gaza<br \/>\n56:13 Aya receives devastating news<br \/>\n58:15 Aseel\u2019s baby is unwell<br \/>\n1:00:00 Adam is raising funds to leave<br \/>\n1:03:00 Hunger in the north<br \/>\n1:06:44 Adam crosses the border to Egypt<br \/>\n1:10:09 Aya is accepted to study abroad<br \/>\n1:11:09 Aseel in Rafah<br \/>\n1:14:31 Israel begins Rafah ground operation<br \/>\n1:17:56 \u201cI might die without achieving my dreams.\u201d<br \/>\n1:25:36 One year on <\/p>\n<p>  &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<br \/>\nThis is the official BBC World Service YouTube channel.<br \/>\nIf you like what we do, you can also find us here:<br \/>\nInstagram \ud83d\udc49\ud83c\udffd https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/bbcworldservice<br \/>\nTwitter \ud83d\udc49\ud83c\udffd https:\/\/twitter.com\/bbcworldservice<br \/>\nFacebook \ud83d\udc49\ud83c\udffd https:\/\/facebook.com\/bbcworldservice<br \/>\nBBC World Service website \ud83d\udc49\ud83c\udffd https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/worldserviceradio<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for watching and subscribing.<br \/>\n#BBCWorldService #Gaza #MiddleEast #Israel #Gaza #Palestine #Documentary #WorldService#WorldService<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=IOEapxExQ84\">source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Life and Death in Gaza, a BAFTA award-winning film from the World Service\u2019s #BBCEye investigations team for BBC Storyville, is made by four Palestinians living through extraordinary times.
