a photojournalist from Gaza.

There, survival itself tells a story.

Born in the village of Khuza’a near the eastern border of Gaza, he grew up surrounded by farmland, war, fear, and loss. He never imagined he would be a photographer or journalist.

But life in Gaza made him grab a camera. He needed to share the stories the world couldn’t see.

 

For more than a decade, Walid has documented life under siege, wars, airstrikes, and daily suffering. He faced many dangers.

He saw people lose their homes. Families lost everything, and dreams were shattered.

He uses his photos and words to show Gaza as more than just headlines and numbers.

He reveals human lives full of pain, hope, love, and resilience.

 

Gaza often makes headlines through politicians and breaking news. Walid tells it through the eyes of the people who lived it and survived it.

Although he left Gaza years ago, Gaza never left him. He also focused on humanitarian work. He provided safe lighting for homes during blackouts. He supported solar energy projects and distributed clothes to children. Additionally, he helped students continue their education. He believes that humanity is not only documented through images, but also through action.

For Walid, being from Gaza means growing up under occupation, deprived of the simplest human rights and basic necessities. He still shares stories from Gaza with honesty and emotion. He preserves the voice, dignity, and spirit of its people for the world to remember.
