      Hamza joined The National in Cairo in February 2019. A native of Egypt, he's covered the news from nearly 30 countries across the Middle East, Asia and Europe. He's worked for Reuters and The Associated Press, covering nearly every recent Middle East conflict, including Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, South Sudan’s civil war and the US invasion of Iraq.

      Palestinians ferry their belongings as they arrive in Gaza City to flee neighbourhoods to the east of the city following Israeli evacuation orders on April 11, 2025. Israel resumed intense strikes on the Gaza Strip on March 18, collapsing a truce with the Palestinians Hamas movement brokered by the US, Egypt, and Qatar that took effect on January 19 and saw the return of 33 Israeli hostages in exchange for the release of around 1,800 Palestinian detainees. Since then, more than 1,500 people have been killed, according to the health ministry in the Palestinian territory to which Israel cut off aid more than a month earlier. (Photo by Bashar TALEB / AFP)
