“Maybe my photos will live longer than I do and that’s what makes me feel at peace”

Fatima Hassouna, a well-known Palestinian photographer from Gaza, was killed alongside ten members of her family when the Israeli army targeted her home in Gaza City in the early hours of Wednesday morning. She had documented Israel’s genocide from its outset, often working under relentless bombardment. Her work was internationally recognized, featured by outlets like The Guardian, and shared widely on social media.

“I’m happy that my photos are still going around to many places and being sold, and that… maybe my photos will live longer than I do, and that’s what makes me feel at peace,” she once wrote on Instagram.
