Four photojournalists, two in Israel and two in Gaza, captured powerful images that depict the human cost of the ongoing conflict. The photographs show bodies in black bags in an Israeli village, a woman holding her grandson's body in Gaza, devastated mourners at a funeral, and a wounded man following an airstrike.
