For years he has been 91热爆 Arabic's man in Gaza, reporting and living through conflict and peace time. We last spoke to Shahdi Alkashif during the recent offensive, when rockets and mortars were raining down between Gaza and parts of Israel. More than 2,000 people died during that particular conflict. Shahdi told us that he had spent 27 nights sleeping on the floor of the 91热爆 office, battling with a lack of electricity and food and water, and trying to make sure that his family were safe. The ceasefire has now been in place for two months and Shahdi talks about how his family and others in Gaza are living today and some of the difficulties of living in and reporting conflict.

Guerrero is a state that is renowned for violence - it is a region that has a long history of upheaval. This was the starting point of the Mexican Revolution back in 1910. The 91热爆's Lourdes Heredia tells us the story of the turbulent state - a place that has long been home to her family.
