In an exclusive interview with Palestine Deep Dive, Nobel Peace Prize-nominated Palestinian photojournalist Motaz Azaiza speaks to Ahmed Alnaouq about his 108 days of exposing Israel’s genocide on Gaza to billions around world. “I spent more than 23 days sleeping on the street outside the hospital. 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. 0:00 Intro 2:07 Remembering Mahmoud Alnaouq 4:40 Israel’s ground invasion into “our hometown” in Gaza, Deir Al-Balah 10:40 “it’s not work, it’s a duty.” Azaiza on his approach to photojournalism 15:00 the dangers of working as a journalist in Gaza: Motaz’s “cute” threats from the Israeli army 17:20 sleeping on the street “to protect my family” 19:00 a day in life of Motaz amid genocide 19:30 people were scared of me as a journalist 20:40 shooting and uploading content amid genocide: the technicalities 22:20 journalists as a target 25:00 “my photos travelled the whole world by my feat can’t touch my homeland” 26:40 do you still believe in the power of images? 30:00 Motaz explains the stories behind his photography: The Al Masri Family in Deir Al-Balah 33:00 a picture of Motaz’s neighbours’ massacre 34:30 a video of Motaz holding a dead child in an ambulance 36:15 are you the same person after all this horror and death? 38:00 not feeling safe in West 38:40 people are trying but they’re not doing enough 39:40 choosing what to publish 41:40 speaking at the Massive Attack concert 46:40 are you proud of seeing flags? 47:40 what can the people do? 49:20 nomination for Nobel peace prize - will you accept? 51:40 Motaz’s colleagues in Gaza 54:40 Israel is “special”. 56:40 the Palestinian leadership must unite Support us: https://www.palestinedeepdive.com/sup...
