Kevin Sites: Citizen journalist arrives in Israel
![]()
Kevin Sites (middle) with his team.
Kevin Sites is a freelance journalist who is bringing blogging to a whole new level. He has undertaken to visit and report from every area of conflict in the world over one year. His goal is to report the stories that are not covered by the mainstream media and to put a human face on them. So far, Sites has visited eight locations - including Iran, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon. He has shot some remarkable video interviews and posted them on his site, The Hot Zone.
This week he visited Israel, Gaza and the West Bank. He did some powerful interviews with Israeli and Palestinian trauma physicians and with two women - one Palestinian and one Israeli - who suffered devastating physical injuries as a direct result of the conflict.
Take a look at the video reports shot in Israel:
Amani Al-Hissi, a blind woman who was injured by a tear gas cannister.
Kinneret Boosany, who suffered terrible burns all over her body when a suicide bomber detonated himself at the Tel Aviv cafe in which she worked as a bartender.
Dr. Raed Arini, a trauma surgeon at a Gaza hospital.
Prof. Avi Rifkind, a trauma surgeon at Jerusalem’s Hadassah Hospital.
