While most 10-year-olds go to school, play with their friends and enjoy their childhood, Janna Jihad, from Palestine is busy becoming the youngest amateur reporter in Palestine. Sputnik spoke in an exclusive interview with Janna.
A resident of Nabi Saleh, a Palestinian village north of the West Bank city of Ramallah, Janna has been a witness to the tragedies of war from a very young age.
She started covering the local events and unveiling Israeli violations in
Palestine after her friend was killed by the IDF. "I began three years ago, when I was seven years old. I participated in rallies near our house in Ramallah, precisely in the rally of 'Nabi Salih' (The prophet of ancient Arabia) in the village of Nabi Salih."
"It was a rally against the establishment of the Israeli settlement in the area. Our house is the first house in the entrance of the village of Nabi Salih; the IDF always reach there. I have loved journalism since I was a kid; I began shooting the rallies and demonstrations with my mother's cell-phone and commenting on what I film." Janna explained that by filming it she is showing how the IDF
attack participants during demonstrations.
"With the help of my mother I managed to publish these videos on social networks, the thing was met with significant resonance and this pushed me to continue even further," Janna explained.
