I don’t know people are going to deal winter under this war, how are they going to find shelter and cover from this rain storm. How are they going to find food or hot water to keep their body warm in this cold. Ceasefire now

Believe me or not But I feel shame for just being a photographer who documents I wish I could do more than just documenting and talking about it. Be the one who stop this genocide

Many people in the streets with nowhere to go to. Long lines of people waiting to get bread. Anyone from outside Gaza that feels entitled to message me and say don’t post certain things is getting blocked. Stop messaging me from your comfort zone, this is our reality. You have no say in this. If our suffering makes you uncomfortable, imagine how it makes us feel.

Israel’s war isn’t just affecting us as a people in Gaza, it’s a war on every living and breathing thing in the Gaza Strip. Our people, our land and water, our entire environment, our homes, our animals and birds, our ocean, our memories, our streets and favorite places and everything that we love about Gaza. It’s affecting our physical and mental health. We are really suffering and I wish someone would stop this genocide. All those people you see who were forcibly displaced and had to walk for 5 or more hours to go south and leave their homes behind are suffering. Some of them are elders who couldn’t walk, and have already witnessed the ethnic cleansing during the 1948 Nakba, and were forcibly expelled from their homes in northern Palestine to Gaza. This is a genocide. This is ethnic cleansing. We deserve a better life. Ceasefire now

People in Gaza have already suffered a lot, and this war destroyed everything. People are really suffering and it’s going to take a very long time to fix what’s been damaged, but something’s will never be fixed. There is much hurt, you can see it in people’s eyes. We need a lasting ceasefire. We want to live.

We are driving to Rafah border crossing to drop our colleague Ali Jadallah and his family to evacuate to Egypt. If you saw this video, it means we are still alive.

All these kids just lost their parents after an Israeli air strike on their house. They are originally from Gaza city, and they evacuated to the middle area to be safe, but last night at 2 am the house they were in was targeted. The boy in the last video was injured after an air strike on the school him and his family were sheltering in. He is in pain and he is asking for a bed. He doesn’t want to be on the floor. He just wants to sleep. The hospital is extremely overwhelmed.

December 16th, it’s been 3 days without connection and internet. I’m trying to connect via esim, but it’s useless because you need to be close to the borders and also be on a high place in order to connect. The sky is full of apache helicopters, drones and jet fighters.

The neighbors said they heard people shouting from the apartment asking for help when the apartment was targeted. They think that these completely burned bodies belong to them. No one was able to help them in time. I can’t keep filming this anymore. Someone stop this please.

I’m honoured to be given the communicator award of the year. I’m disappointed that I wasn’t able to attend due to the Israeli blockade that limits our freedom of movement. I still have to worry about my life and well being under the ongoing genocide. I couldn’t even watch the ceremony online properly due to the blockade of internet that left us without connections for a week now. Thanks to my dear friend Laila Mokhiber for travelling to receive the award on my behalf.

This is what we sleep and wake up to every morning in Gaza and that’s if we were able to actually sleep because of the Israeli warplanes that don’t leave our sky. The war sounds are the only sounds we been hearing for over a month now.
