Palestinians walk next to a destroyed building after heavy rains in in Khan Yunis, Gaza Strip, December 31. Heavy winter rains flood several displacement camps in the Gaza Strip, exacerbating the inhumane conditions faced by families amid Israel's ongoing genocidal war on Gaza. As 2024 concludes, approximately 90% of Gaza's population is internally displaced, with many residing in makeshift tents ill-equipped for harsh weather. The situation is made worse by a severe shortage of humanitarian aid, as Israel continues to prevent its access to the besieged enclave. Without adequate shelters, several babies have died from hypothermia within a two-week period in Gaza.

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.
