We asked 10 people in Gaza to record moments of their day. The result is inspiring and heartbreaking.
Seventy days have passed since the Israeli army launched an all-out attack on Gaza, following Hamas’ attack on Israel on October 7. During those 70 days, more than 18,800 Palestinians were killed, most of them children and women.
Tel Aviv Tribune’s digital documentary series Close Up reached out to Palestinians in Gaza in November and asked them to record everything they could over the course of a day on every device that was still working – because who better than telling the story of life in Gaza? the people themselves who live there in the horror of siege and war?
This compilation of real-life moments provides a snapshot of just one of those 70 days of war where even the most mundane tasks like showering, doing laundry, and preparing meals became incredibly difficult, where fear was constant. and palpable that death could strike at any moment. from above as Israel relentlessly bombards the entire length of the besieged strip, from morning to evening.
The result is a story of resilience and courage.
