Hani Mahmoud, Al Jazeera correspondent

Hani Mahmoud is an English language correspondent for Al Jazeera in Gaza. 

In a recently posted episode of the podcast series The Take, Mahmoud talks about what it’s like covering the war on the ground with bombs falling and electricity repeatedly cut. 

At the end of the day, he says, although there’s danger on the roads, he takes the risk to go home to his family. 

“It’s worth it so I can see my mom, I can see my dad, I can be with my family,” he says. “You never know, it might be the last time. That’s always on our head. Every step you’re taking, it might be the last one. We’ve seen examples just in the past 30 minutes, a journalist who just finished field work was killed right after that.”
