Mohemmed Abu Salama

Based primarily at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, Mohemmed has become a vital witness to the unfolding humanitarian catastrophe. His lens captures not only the devastation of genocide, but also the perseverance of his people—patients, families, and medical staff struggling to endure amid unimaginable loss.

Growing up in Jabalia camp, one of the most densely populated areas in the world, Mohemmed has long understood the power of images in telling the story of Palestine. His work highlights the strength, grief, and steadfastness of Palestinians facing occupation and blockade.

Through both his commissioned work and independent projects, Mohemmed seeks to preserve truth, amplify voices that are too often silenced, and hold the world accountable by showing what it means to live—and resist—in Gaza.

His photography has been widely circulated on social media and in news outlets, where it serves not only as documentation, but as testimony: a reminder that behind every headline are human lives, families, and histories.
