‘Raising Yousuf’ in Gaza

Here is a great find, thanks to surfing around in Mark Glaser’s space in OJR.
It’s Raising Yousuf: a diary of a mother under occupation, the blog kept for some months now by Gaza-based Al-Jazeera journalist Laila El-Haddad. She says,

This blog is about raising my son Yousuf in the occupied Gaza Strip while working as a journalist, and everything that entails from potty training to border crossings. Together, we endure a lot, and the personal becomes political. This is our story.

I read the top few posts there, which were excellent. I plan to get RY onto my sidebar here once I get back to a sensible internet connection this weekend.
