Two children run across the ruins of what used to be buildings and a football field following five air strikes targeting the main police station in Al Tuffah neighborhood east of Gaza City, November 18, 2012. Four houses populated by 40 people, including 20 children were completely destroyed in the airstrike. One woman, Nawal Faraj Abdulal (age 53), had her body pulled from the debris three hours after the attack. Ten others were also injured, including six children. Scores of neighboring houses were also damaged in the strikes.
The Activestills collective was established in 2005 by a group of documentary photographers, out of a strong conviction that photography is a vehicle for social change. We believe in the power of images to shape public attitudes and to raise awareness on issues that are generally absent from public discourse.
We view ourself as part of the struggle against all forms of oppression, racism, and violations of the basic right to freedom. We do work on various topics, including the grassroots movement and the popular struggle against the Israeli occupation, women’s rights, immigration, asylum-seekers, social justice, the siege on Gaza, and housing rights inside Israel.
