What happened

In Pictures One year on, Gaza mourns journalist Anas al-Sharif’s death Gaza remembers Anas al-Sharif, a journalist whose voice defined the impact of war on civilians’ lives.

Why it matters

On the first anniversary of the killing of Al Jazeera correspondent Anas al-Sharif in Gaza, Palestinians and press freedom advocates are remembering a journalist who became one of the defining voices of Israel’s genocidal war on the enclave.

Common ground

Born in 1996 in the Jabalia refugee camp, al-Sharif rose from a local cameraman to a widely recognised face across the Arab world through his relentless reports on the unrelenting Israeli bombardment of Gaza and its toll on civilians.
