This project is a photographic journey through the life of the inhabitants of Gaza. It began during the 2014 Israel-Gaza conflict, and continued in the immediate aftermath that left the Strip frozen in misery six months later, without options for a population that has lost all hope of a better future. The war ended with 2143 people killed, 480 of them children, and more than 11,500 wounded. This project seeks, with the help of this grant, to continue capturing images of the Gaza Strip reconstruction process, but this time from a positive point of view, describing the ability to heal wounds through intimate stories, to tell about the ability to overcome of those who suffered a catastrophe of this magnitude and I previously photographed.
