HOME BASE GAZA (2003)
The Palestinian photojournalist Ahmed Jadallah has made over ten thousand photographs of life in the Gaza Strip for Reuters. Almost daily he shoots reportages of Palestinian funerals and Israeli violence. He himself was wounded four times and hospitalised in critical condition during the Israeli shelling of a Palestinian refugee camp in 2003 in which thirteen Palestinians were killed and several hundreds more wounded. Jadallah nearly lost his legs from a tank shell, and despite a number of operations his health is still not completely restored. The Israeli authorities also have barred him from going to Reuters’s main office in Jerusalem.
