Sherine Tadros says she feels “destroyed” watching the latest carnage unfolding in Gaza. Her memoir “Taking Sides” explores the life-changing impact Gaza had on her in 2008/09, as one of the few international English-language journalists reporting from inside the besieged strip for 79 days, as Israeli airstrikes rained down. It was an event that launched her career as an award-winning war correspondent. She subsequently covered the Arab Spring uprisings for Al Jazeera and Sky News and returned to the strip in 2014 to cover yet another war. But Tadros left it all behind to become a human rights advocate. In a personal and uninhibited reflection on her life and work, Sherine speaks to her ex-colleague Imran Garda about her journey, what inspired the book – and tells The InnerView why she now feels she can make more of an impact on people’s lives in her role as the Head of the UN Office for Amnesty International.
