BBC reporter reveals emotional toll of covering war in Gaza | BBC News

For months BBC reporter Adnan El-Bursh reported on the war in Gaza while living in a tent, eating one meal a day and struggling to keep his wife and five children safe.

Since the attacks on Israel on October 7th more than 100 journalists have been killed in Gaza according to the organisation Reporters Without Borders. Israel says it take all reasonable measures to mitigate harm and never deliberately targets journalists.

Adnan has been keeping a video diary documenting the harrowing moments he has faced covering a war that pushed him to his limits.

Fiona Bruce presents BBC News at Ten reporting of his personal story.

Stop calling this a war, it is genocide not war

[olorin]

The more the world ignores atrocity, the more easily it spreads across the world.

It’s western who always blame hamas but never blame IDF and Israel but backing them.

No one can stay indifferent covering a Genocide 😢

[joshuachin]

The worst and most emotionless newscaster. When reporting more than 100 reporters have died, she didn't even flinch. These are her colleagues and she could smile while speaking about it. BBC has lost its soul.

[pallascat]

Maybe the BBC shouldn't give Israel cover.

[WARAYSIGIADUNKA]

The US should talk about this NOT COLLEGE KIDS

Iof shot 6 year old hind rajab, was that self defense? They also shot her parents and young relatives that were not even armed, was that self defense?

[dallasbites]

This is WHY WESTERN REPORTERS WON'T GO TO GAZA 😢😢😢 THEY WOULD HAVE TO TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT THE GENOCIDE 😢😢😢😢

Im so sorry, horrific war crimes from the apartheid stat

[G-T]

The inhumanity of the Izraelis toward the Palestinians makes me sick to my stomach, so much so I cannot even listen to them when they speak!

[rinaliu]

The first one delivered off the truck was a child. God it’s so small, and it’s so heartbreaking to witness all this. 🕯️🕯️🕯️

[Daniel-fme]

[fgvevdbcbvng]

All of us human beings have been living in this NIGHTMARE. It is insane that WW2 crimes are recreated when it was vowed to "never again"??

[bayestraat]

No tears for the hostages? Yeah i thought so.

[davidgray]

Emotional toll of working for the BBC.

[BA-rhhy]

[raniamaj]

It's a gaza genocide not gaza war stop using misleading titles.
