Gaza (2023–2025) | Ibrahim Nofal — NOFAL

Gaza, Palestine • 2023-2025

These images document life in Gaza through a period of genocide, displacement, and profound loss. Despite everything, they remain rooted in the people, the homeland, and the everyday moments that persisted throughout it all. Together, they bear witness to a Gaza that continues to live, love, endure, and be remembered. A Gaza that teaches what true belonging and humanity are.
