I was really worried to go to my house because you don't want to endanger your family… It was very cold and you sleep with the smell of bodies and you wake up to the screams of the mothers…it’s the smell of death. I know the smell of death,” Azaiza tells Ahmed. Israel has killed more than 160 Palestinian journalists in Gaza since October. Azaiza’s footage and photography has reached billions around the world, with his Instagram account attracting more than 18 million followers eager to bypass mainstream media bias and see the reality of life on the ground in Gaza. But Azaiza tells Ahmed he has lost hope in the power of images to affect change, yet continued his work in Gaza because it was “his passion and his duty.” Ahmed Alnaouq is a Palestinian journalist from Gaza and co-founder of We Are Not Numbers.
