RT: @translatingpal One year ago today, Saleh Al-Jaafarawi was killed in Gaza City, days after the ceasefire was announced, while he was out filming the destruction left behind by the Israeli occupation.
Local sources say gunmen collaborating with the occupation shot him seven times. He was 27. Saleh studied journalism at the Islamic University of Gaza and had memorised the Quran. He first became known for covering the Great March of Return in 2018, where he was wounded several times.
Through two years of genocide he refused to leave, filming the bombardment, distributing aid, helping raise millions to rebuild a children’s hospital, and lifting people’s spirits with anthems like “Qawiya Ya Gaza.” He was also a table tennis player who represented Palestine at the World Championships in Doha, and the Israeli occupation spent months running a campaign to discredit him. He left a will asking people to carry on his work: “The word is a trust, and the image is a message.” Gaza has not let either fall.
