An Irish-based Palestinian journalist has said she “can’t possibly process the number of friends” she has lost during Israel’s military offensive in Gaza.

Eman Mohammed, a speaker at Saturday’s Palestine protest in Dublin, said she left Gaza after her one-year-old child was injured during a bombardment of her neighbourhood by Israeli forces in 2014.
