Gaza Through My Lens with Motaz Azaiza: Sharing Truth, Inspiring Action
Motaz Azaiza never set out to become a global voice for Gaza but through his lens, he has done just that. From documenting everyday life in the Gaza Strip to bearing witness to unimaginable devastation, the 26-year-old photojournalist has become a powerful storyteller for Palestine. His 2025 Gaza Through My Lens tour with UNRWA USA brought thousands together across five US cities in a collective act of truth-telling, remembrance, and solidarity. This is a reflection on his journey and the responsibility we all share to keep the story of Gaza alive.
