What life in Gaza is like while Australia debates visas

The Morning Edition - Podcast autorstwa The Age and Sydney Morning Herald

Last week, the leader of Australia’s opposition party Peter Dutton called for a ban on visas for all Palestinians from war-torn Gaza, saying the potential security threat was too great. It set off furious debate, and was condemned as divisive and heartless by some, while others said such a ban should apply, but only to Hamas supporters. While this argument continues, we go to Gaza, where life has become almost one big queue for survival as families spend their days lining up for daily rations of water and food. All while trying to stay well and safe amid the spread of disease and continued bombardment. Today, an aid worker with Oxfam, Bushra Khalidi, speaks to us from the West Bank about her family’s life in Gaza. How common support for Hamas is there, and what she thinks of the debate about visas for Palestinians in Australia.Subscribe to The Age & SMH: https://subscribe.smh.com.au/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
