Faces of Genocide: A Gaza Testimony

Abdelrahman Alkahlout | GAZA, Palestine

Organization: Freelance photojournalist

Faces of Genocide: A Gaza Testimony documents the lived experience of civilians in Gaza since October 7, when the territory entered one of the darkest chapters in its history. This project bears witness to a systematic campaign of destruction that has reshaped daily life into a continuous struggle for survival. Bombardment, mass displacement, hunger, and the collapse of healthcare are not isolated events here, but a constant reality endured by an entire civilian population.

Photographed from within the genocide, these images are not distant observations but acts of testimony. They show families torn apart, hospitals overwhelmed beyond capacity, children carrying trauma far beyond their years, and neighborhoods erased from the map. Alongside devastation, the work captures fragile moments of endurance, dignity, and faith that persist amid the ruins.

This project does not seek spectacle or sympathy. It exists as visual evidence of civilian suffering and as a moral record of a moment when international systems failed to protect human life. Faces of Genocide insists on remembering those reduced to statistics and affirms photography as a tool for accountability, memory, and resistance against erasure.

Photographed and produced independently

I am a Palestinian photojournalist from Gaza. I photographed this work while living through the same violence I document. This project is both my professional responsibility and my personal testimony. I believe photography is an act of bearing witness and a form of resistance against erasure, especially when civilian lives are reduced to numbers.
