Gaza today is not just a besieged city but a stage for systematic genocide targeting every aspect of life. Nowhere is safe—relentless airstrikes demolish homes over their residents, turning neighborhoods into mass graves, while civilians cling to survival amidst destruction and ruins.



Under the suffocating siege, families are trapped between starving to death or dying under the rubble. Hospitals, meant to be sanctuaries, have become overcrowded rooms filled with the wounded, with no medicine or supplies. The bombardment makes no distinction between a mother holding her child, a worshipper in a mosque, or a medical team saving lives. It’s merciless destruction, erasing traces of life and replacing them with faces worn by agony and children deprived of their basic right to safety.



This project documents enduring pain and legendary resilience. It captures the stories of thousands of civilians who lost their homes and loved ones, forced to flee on an uncertain journey, without shelter or food, while death lurks around every corner. What is happening is not just a war—it is a silent genocide, where global silence becomes an accomplice in the suffering.



From the rubble of homes and hospitals, from the darkness of the siege, the voice of truth rises. These images are a cry to the world and an unextinguished testament to an unbreakable will to live—a testament to a people who have chosen to write their existence despite the destruction.
