Youmna El Sayed, a journalist with The Associated Press, lost her office and much of the equipment she uses to report when an Israeli airstrike destroyed the 11-story office building where she worked in Gaza City.
The first thing El Sayed did after the May 15 attack-in which Israeli authorities gave media an hour s notice to evacuate-was to try to find a safe place to rest and file stories. Initially, she went to al-Shifa Hospital. When she needed a rest, she would go to her car. The amount of equipment that we were able to take with us was very little, she told VOA via a messaging app.
