JWST is revealing an unprecedented number of high redshift galaxies, allowing us to characterize for the first time their physical properties in great detail. In this talk, I will review what we have learnt about the interstellar medium conditions in galaxies in the Epoch of Reionization. In particular, I will focus on the star-forming and ionizing properties of high redshift sources, as well as on the investigation of the conditions that facilitate the escape of Lyman continuum photons from the galaxies into the intergalactic medium, with the main aim of understanding the contribution of galaxies in the reionization process and its timeline.
