Foreign media was unable to reach Gaza, so journalists who live there were recorded by the world

The soil cameras, and their blue journalistic journals are still wearing high use and high emotions, in Gaza are still at work after they rejoiced in the war amid the ceasefire a week ago.

Because foreign media members were not allowed to enter the Gaza tape, the responsibility for reporting is on the shoulders of local journalists who photographed footage of their neighbors and sometimes their last moments – all of this to ensure that the international media can bring the world within the world that destroyed the pocket 2.2 million civilians. Nearly 90 percent of the population has been displaced since Israel launched its military campaign 15 months ago, as many have been moving more than once.

Since then, the military campaign of Israel has killed more than 47,000 Palestinians in Gaza, according to the Ministry of Health, a retaliatory attack of the Hamas -led attack on October 7, 2023. Hamas was responsible for the killing of 1,200 people more than 250 hostages, according to Israeli.

Three Palestinian journalists spoke with the independent CBC video photographer Mohamed Saif about what it had been reporting to the war while they were with its effects in their homes.

“I cannot believe that I was able to survive this genocide,” said Tatwat Abu Musabah, who works with Al -Sahafa TV.

“Since the beginning of this war, the Israeli forces have been targeting Palestinian journalists.”

In the press Release Earlier this month, the International Federation of Journalists announced that “at least 152 journalists” were killed in Gaza during the war. The release continued to condemn the killings, and called for an “immediate investigation” in their death. The committee, which protects journalists, puts the death toll in 167 journalists, noting that it is investigating the reports of many other deaths.

On the day CBC spoke to Abu Musaba, he said he was “amazed” that he was still alive.

The 37 -year -old picked up the work with Iranian News TV, which covers air strikes, land attacks and death in the Gaza Strip. He said he wanted to report the conflict to “raise the voices of the Palestinian people.” He said the journalist a long time before October 7, 2023, he said this line was always invited.

“For me, the press is one of the most important aspects of our daily life as a Palestinian people,” he said. “We have this uncompromising battle with the Israeli occupation forces in terms of struggle.”

While he looks at the war days, he describes them as “very horrific.”

With families returning to Rafah, the dark task of researching the rubble in the hope of finding the remains of their loved ones to bury them awaiting many. Although the Ministry of Health in Gaza is estimated at nearly 47,000 civilians who died in the war, a study published in Lancet on January 9 indicates that the actual number is much higher.

But “it was very important when the ceasefire agreement was announced.” “We felt the extreme joy in which this cease -fire enters.”

Abu Salem alone

A viral video clip made tours on a group of Palestinian journalists who gathered near the European Hospital in Khan Yunis to celebrate the moment of the ceasefire on Sunday. They sang, giving, participating in the moment of staying and remembering colleagues who could not be there to celebrate this with them.

Sami Abu Salem, a WAFA writer, described the conflicting feelings that he and his colleagues are now with them in Gaza after the war.

“I am lucky and satisfied because we are alive,” he said in an interview. “But at the same time, I am very upset because we have lost more than 200 of our colleagues.”

The 53-year-old writer was optimistic with caution because he made it clear that the ceasefire, who is still in his early days, was “fragile”-and he could be broken at any moment.

The father also described his own struggle in the past 15 months – although he covered the destruction and effects of war on the people around him, he also went to a tent and tried to find food, water and supplies to his family. But he says that his inability to balance everything often let him feel defeated during the conflict.

“During the war, as a journalist, I felt that I could not do my job well. Either I take care of my children, to find a place to stay or search for food and water for my children,” he said. “Or to cover the news and take pictures.”

However, he had hope to become a famous journalist and felt that it was his national duty to ensure that war stories are told in the world.

He is clearly tired, laughs while hearing dreams coming out of his mouth.

“I have become a journalist,” he said. “But I am not famous.”

Now, he will focus on finding a house for his family, something he could not secure during the war between displacement and bombing campaigns across the tape.

“I don’t know where to go, I don’t know where to live.”

By working from the media tent, Dia Ausz wrote on his laptop, in an attempt to end his last story to ABC. Press jacket, blue and cheat, hanging on a close coat shelf. The empty cup of coffee was scattered from his office, and fuel for one-day work-in Gaza after the war, there are still many stories you tell.

Before the war, the Ausz, 29, worked as a field coordinator to save children while completing a master’s degree in civil societies. Once the war erupted, his studies stopped, and he was directed to the role of the journalist, a job that was hoping for his entire life. His work ended with the rescue of children and he could no longer continue his studies while trying to escape the war, and instead he decided to achieve a dream of life.

“Since we are in a conflict zone, there is a message that we must submit to all people around the world,” he said. “The field of journalism is the eyes of the truth.”

But he said that it is humanity that comes with a good journalist who truly interesting the profession as a young boy.

He said: “Journalists must be a human being, and they must feel with all people, and they have the ability to do a coverage to send the message all over the world to all people in all languages.”
