Joining me for the first time on the podcast from Gaza, Palestine, is 21 year old English Literature Student and volunteer with wearenotnumbers.org, Afaf Al Najjar. She outlines the situation inside Gaza right now, the crumbling infrastucture, the shortagrs of electricity, wifi and now water and the need for the fighting to stop.

This is a must listen first person testimony to live under the blockade (we are even interrupted at one point by the noise from Israeli gunships) and Afaf's appeal for the application of international law and the right to live a life in peace and with dignity is powerful appeal for sanity in this time of madness. Please listen and find Afaf on twitter @afafpal_
