EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful image captured by Mohammed Salem, a Palestinian man walks through the Shatti (beach) refugee camp during a power cut in Gaza City. The photograph, taken on July 23,2015, depicts the harsh reality faced by residents of Gaza who have been enduring up to 18 hours of electricity outage per day for three consecutive days due to fuel and power shortages. The central composition of the photo draws attention to the lone figure walking amidst an urban city engulfed in darkness. The silhouette of the man against the orange glow emanating from buildings creates a hauntingly beautiful contrast that highlights his resilience in the face of adversity. As he navigates through the blackout, we are reminded of how essential electricity is for our daily lives and how its absence can disrupt even basic activities. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by Palestinians living in Gaza and their ability to persevere despite difficult circumstances. Salem's skillful use of light and creative composition captures both despair and hope simultaneously. It invites viewers to reflect on not only this individual's struggle but also on larger issues such as poverty, displacement, and limited access to resources that many refugees around the world endure every day.
