In Athens, a Greek-Palestinian artist is leading an initiative with one simple objective: to show the world visual proof of what Israel is doing to the Gaza Strip and its people, Anadolu Agency reports.
For Mirei Al-Sayyed, this is her way to overcome what she says is the biased coverage of Western media outlets.
She is the curator of ‘Is Anyone Alive? The Language of Communication in Gaza,’ an exhibition of photos capturing the harrowing scale of the death, destruction and human tragedy unfolding before the world’s eyes in the besieged Palestinian enclave.
“Every day, I kept seeing the number of our dead people rising, and then I saw a video of a father calling for his kids, then his neighbours, friends, and colleagues. And at the end, he fell on the ground and screamed: ‘Is anyone alive?’ So, then I realized this is the language of communication in Gaza,” Al-Sayyed told Anadolu about the title of the exhibit.
“They (Gazans) have stopped calling names. They are just looking for survivors.”
