"I think what is interesting from the whole historic event is how I was one of four photographers in the buffer for his rally and not one photographer got the same picture as the other. We all had different angles, and that shows the importance of multiple visual journalists being present for campaign events so that every angle can be documented."
"This man is mourning his daughter, Kenzi Abdel Rahman Jumah, who was killed in a house hit by an Israeli strike. More than half of Gaza's population were clustered in Rafah at this point in the war, as Israel's campaign against Hamas pushed farther south. The experience of covering such farewell moments was very moving as a photographer living in Gaza."
"I expected that one day I would photograph my family in this situation, which happened when I photographed the farewell of my cousin, who was killed near Khan Yunis. I later lost my father in this war, although I did not get to see him and say goodbye to him. I knew the meaning of loss."
"It was more than a kiss or embrace - it was a moment that humanized these larger-than-life celebrities and something the world had been waiting to see."
