Living through the bombing

BBC Radio 4 - In Touch, Living through the bombing

Two blind women talk to Peter White about their experiences of living in Israel and Gaza.

Peter White speaks to Naama Shang, who lives in Israel, and Dalal Al-Taji, who lives in Gaza, about their experiences of conflict as visually impaired people.

We hear from two blind women about their experiences of living through the current conflict in Gaza and Israel. They talk about how they find out information about the proximity of rockets and bombs; they speak frankly about dealing with the uncertainty and how their lives have been affected.

We also trail to next week's programme, where Peter White talks to three visually impaired women who have undergone a course to learn how to conduct a choir.

Image: Dalal Al-taji, who speaks with us from South Gaza, just a few kilometres from where the main fighting is.
