From the Ground Up Ep. 298: Remembering Suha Jarrar: environmental impacts on Gaza | 2023.11.22

With Gaza under siege and intense bombardment, humanitarian organisations,UN agencies and many others have been calling for a ceasefire. Much as the people of Gaza need that, there is a longer history of suffering, in which environmental and climate impacts are closely intertwined with deprivation of basic human rights under occupation. So this week we are repeating an interview we did in 2018 with Suha Jarrar, then a researcher with Palestinian human rights organisation Al-Haq, with a focus on womens' rights and climate. Sadly, Suha died at the age of 31 in 2021, so in repeating this interview we are both remembering her and amplifying what she had to say about the context in which the present war is happening.
