17th century clergyman Thomas Fuller said, “Seeing is believing, but feeling is the truth.” Never has that been more meaningful than today. Impactful, heartrending images are pouring out of Gaza, each more unbearable to witness than the other. Many taken while bombs are dropping or during rescue efforts shortly thereafter by photojournalists who run towards the explosions and not away from them.
Over 270 journalists and media workers have been killed since the war in Gaza began on October 7, 2023. This makes the conflict the deadliest for media workers on record.
Congratulations to ZUMA Photographer Saher Alghorra on winning the prestigious 2025 Humanitarian Visa d’Or award from the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).
Saher Alghorra, thank you for your courage, your dedication, and for allowing us to “feel the truth.”
