Born in France to Iraqi parents, Feurat spent part of his youth in one of the eighteen towers of the Pablo Picasso city of Nanterre where he still resides, with his mother when he visits France. His father Amir Ahmed Alani, a political opponent of Saddam Hussein, died in 2019 and he dedicated his Albert Londres Prize to him.

He began his journalistic career in 2003 after hearing about the American bombings in Iraq on television. As a journalism student, these images precipitated his departure for Baghdad, where he produced his first reports by immersing himself in his family. He then became a correspondent for I-Télé, Ouest France, La Croix and Le Point.

In 2008, he returned to Paris to collaborate with the Canal + L'Effet Papillon team at the CAPA agency. He reports from Iraq, the United States, Egypt and Algeria.

In 2010, he founded his own production company, Baozi Prod, and returned to Fallujah. His Iraq investigation: The Sacrificed Children of Fallujah, on the consequences of the massive use of depleted uranium bombs, won awards at several festivals. He regularly collaborates with the newspaper Le Monde Diplomatique, the Orient XXI website and the magazine Géo.

He was a finalist in the Goncourt first novel competition for "Je me souviens de Falloujah" (JC Lattès), and won the Version Femina novel prize for the book of the same title.
