In this epsiode of "In Crisis Mode", you'll hear voices from the ground, analysis from FUNKE war reporter Jan Jessen, perspectives on hope and change. What ended the ceasefire - and is there any hope left amid the destruction?

 

🎙 In this episode, you’ll hear from:

• Georgia Tacey, who coordinates relief efforts for Save the Children in Gaza – and shares what daily survival looks like on the ground
• Ali, a father from Rafah, living through bombings and loss with his family
• Usama Antar, a political scientist offering clear-eyed analysis from exile

🧭 Chapter overview:

1 | No Safe Place Left

Georgia Tacey from Save the Children reports directly from Gaza. She describes a reality in which evacuation orders are meaningless — because there’s simply no safe place left.

2 | A Childhood in Ruins

Thousands of children have died, and the survivors are severely traumatized. Georgia shares stories of births in tents, babies in cardboard boxes — and efforts to rebuild emotional connection in broken families.

3 | What Ali from Rafah Is Living Through

Ali and his family live in constant fear, displaced again and again without protection. His words show the devastating impact of the war on everyday life — and the deep longing for peace.

4 | Political Firestorms and Power Games

Usama Antar offers analysis: What is Trump planning? How is Israel responding? What role does Hamas play — and what’s behind the protests against them?

5 | Hope Against All Odds

Despite the violence, there are voices calling for peace — in Gaza and in Israel. Ali and others prove: Humanity can’t be extinguished, even in the darkest times.
