Presentation
In Gaza hunger is no longer silence it is a daily scene of death. People chase aid trucks on the roads, some return wounded, others never return at all, and when food parcels fall from the sky thousands of frail bodies collide cries of hunger mix with the smell of blood and bread becomes more precious than life itself.
Mothers bid farewell to their children little ones chase empty pots and families drag sacks of flour heavier than their weary bodies.
But the scene extends beyond the frame more than half a million people in Gaza are already facing famine a third of the population goes days without food and children are consumed by malnutrition in the absence of medicine and clean water.
Every shot here is not just a photograph but a testimony to an inhuman reality where a piece of bread becomes a collective battle for survival death and the last images leave the ending open for the hunger crisis is far from over.
