npr.org —
Anas Baba, a Palestinian reporter for NPR, has returned to Gaza City after 15 months of displacement due to the ongoing war. He remained in Gaza to report on the conflict despite restrictions on international journalists. Since the war began, over 48,000 people have reportedly died in Gaza, with significant destruction to homes and infrastructure. Baba has provided vital coverage from the ground, documenting the humanitarian crisis and the impact of the conflict. A ceasefire between Israel and Hamas took effect on January 19, 2025, allowing displaced Palestinians to return home. Baba's return marks a significant moment for him and the community he reports on.
