Autorenporträt
Egyptian-born Hamza Hendawi is a prize-winning journalist who covered the news from nearly 30 countries in the Middle East, Asia, and Europe for Reuters and The Associated Press in a career stretching back to the 1980s. In those years, Hamza covered nearly every Middle East conflict, from South Sudan's civil war and Iraq's invasion of Kuwait to the 2003 US invasion and subsequent occupation of Iraq and the Israel-Hezbollah war in 2006. Hamza won several journalism awards and honorary mentions for his work, including the AP Managing Editors prize for the capture of Saddam Hussein and the Deadline Club for his Middle East coverage. In 2013, his stories from rebel-held areas in Syria were part of an AP package placed as a finalist in the Pulitzer's international reporting category. He also authored two, non-fiction books on the Iraq war in Arabic. Hamza is currently the senior correspondent in Cairo for The National, a UAE-based, English-language daily.
