Tareq Hajjaj, a journalist in the Gaza Strip, has been reporting on the devastating conditions and violence during the Israel-Hamas war while trying to keep his family safe. More than 13,000 Palestinians have been killed, including at least 48 journalists and media workers. International news organizations have reduced their presence in Gaza since Hamas' takeover in 2007. Hajjaj has been documenting the destruction and sharing personal stories of loss and survival, while facing the constant threat of bombings and struggling to provide for his family. The situation in Gaza is dire, with limited access to basic necessities like water and food. Hajjaj's own home was destroyed, and he and his family are among the 1.5 million internally displaced people in Gaza.
