Palestinian women react during the funeral of the three children from Shuhaibar family killed earlier in an Israeli airstrike in the Sabra neighborhood of Gaza City, July 17, 2014. The three killed children were two brothers, Jihad Issam Shuhaibar (8) and Wasim Issam Shuhaibar (7), and their cousin Afnan Tariq Shuhaibar (10). The airstrikes came immediately after a temporary five-hour humanitarian ceasefire between Hamas and Israel ended. As of July 17th, 237 Palestinians have been killed since the beginning of the Israeli military operation against the Gaza Strip, including 48 children, and more than 1,700 have been injured.
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.
