Al Aila is a journalist, producer, and researcher who has been covering the Israeli offensive on the besieged territory since October. Her husband, Roshdi Sarraj, was killed in the ongoing fighting, forcing her to take over Ain Media, the media company he co-founded.
Much of her writing focuses on the devastating impact of Israel's bombing of the Gaza Strip on the population, including displacement, living conditions, and the efforts to escape the deadly attacks.

On October 22, Al Aila was preparing to sit down for breakfast with her family at home when shrapnel from an Israeli missile attack on a nearby house killed her husband and injured their newborn daughter.
Since the war in Gaza broke out, the challenges facing this media organization have been exacerbated as members have been killed, attacked, and have struggled with a lack of resources in the region.
Al Aila was chosen to be honored with this award because her true story reflects the courage and dedication of many other Palestinian journalists in this devastated and extremely dangerous land.
According to the CPJ, preliminary investigations indicate that at least 116 journalists and media workers have been killed in Gaza since last October, making it the deadliest period for journalists since the CPJ began collecting data in 1992.
