Gaza bound!
Posted in Posts on 06/17/2010 11:12 pm by Laila El-HaddadI’m happy to announce after a 3 year exile, it looks like the kids and I will inshallah be heading to Gaza next month and staying through September. Of course all tentative, but if all goes as planned (which as experience shows is seldom the case!) we leave in a few weeks. It seems post-flotilla, the Egyptian government has somewhat eased its restrictions on allowing Palestinians into Cairo and the besieged beyond. Although as we also know, policies can change in an instant with no rationale.
If we do make it, besides lots of reportage, I plan to work on my second book in cooperation with a fellow Madrid-based journalist- Gaza: a culinary journey.
Stay tuned!
