I'm a freelance journalist reporting from Gaza for the first time. I speak Arabic and previously lived in Jordan as a Peace Corps volunteer. I currently serve as Program Director at Hands of Peace, a dialogue camp for Israeli, Palestinian and American teenagers.
I'll use this space to recount my day-to-day experiences in Gaza and to provide background information on the stories I publish. More information about me and links to my published articles are available on my website: www.ashleyebates.com.
