Farah and Myriam: Childhood Under Siege in Gaza | Gaza

Meet Farah and Myriam — two young girls from Gaza.

For Farah, night means fear — a reminder of loved ones killed in the darkness.

For Myriam, her home was destroyed, taking her mother and sister. Her aunt’s body remains buried under the rubble.
She lives in a tent beside the ruins and this is where the two girls meet to share their grief, fears and hopes for the future after two years of war.

Farah and Myriam is directed by Wissam Moussa. It’s part of From Ground Zero, a collection of 22 short films made in Gaza, initiated by Palestinian director Rashid Masharawi, to tell the untold stories of the current war.

From Ground Zero was the official submission of Palestine, in the Best International Feature Film category of the 97th Academy Awards in 2025.

Former Premier League star’s son destroys Sir Mo Farah record that stood for 14 years after making his own way in sport

GEORGE MILLS is eyeing up a gold rush after demolishing Sir Mo Farah’s British men’s 5000 metres record in Oslo last night.

The 26-year-old, son of ex-England full-back Danny, clocked 12:46.59 at the Bislett Games to slash over six seconds off the four-time Olympic champ’s mark from Monaco in 2011.

It left the Yorkshireman fourth as the USA’s Nico Young led home a mass charge.

But after landing two Euro silvers in 12 months, Mills wants some big nights that match Mo’s moments of magic.

He said: “That record was one of the things I came here for and it’s nice to be able to do it.

“I like to run brave. I like to assert myself on races. So that’s what I was able to do.

“Now I want medals at worlds and Olympic Games. That’s what I have to do. That’s what I’m aiming for now.”

Mills competed at the Olympics Games in Paris last summer – with his race was overshadowed by controversy.

In a chaotic 5000m heat, the Team GB ace was one of four runners that fell over on the home straight.

It led to a confrontation after the finish line as George pushed France’s Hugo Hay and appeared to tell him to “f*** off.”
