The Journalism Review continues its documentary project, chronicling the testimonies of journalists in Palestine and the Gaza Strip amidst the ongoing genocide. In the following account by Amira Nassar, we encounter intricate details, intimate dialogues, and the relentless struggle over the purpose of writing in a time of slaughter and starvation. It stands as a testimony against oblivion—and against the machinery of extermination.

From the very first moment of the genocidal war waged by Israel on Gaza, Al Jazeera correspondent Hisham Zaqout has been a witness to hunger, devastation, war crimes, and the assassination of his colleagues in the field. It is a battle for survival and documentation, one that goes beyond mere coverage and daily reporting.
